Octavo, black leatherette & red boards (hardcover), gilt letters, xxi, 261 pp. Former owner bookplate; otherwise, Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Few episodes in modern history have so captured the imagination as the battle for the skies over Britain in the summer of 1940. Spitfires and Messerschnitts; the valiant, out-numbered RAF, the implacable Luftwaffe; the heroic speeches of Winston Churchill )Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few") -- this is the very stuff of legend and this is what we still remember about those desperate days. Yet, as Len Deighton shows us so clearly in his classic war text, the real nature of this crucial struggle was infinitely more complicated -- and more fascinating -- than wartime myths or propaganda. Drawing on the mastery of technical detail he displayed so brilliantly in Bomber (the story of an RAF bombing raid), the internationally best-selling author of The Ipcress File and Funeral in Berlin gives us an altogether factual and comprehensive picture of the men, the machines, the strategies (and the blunders), and the events on both sides. He shows us the British squandering precious fighter planes in a futile effort to halt the German blitzkrieg in France, and the Germans refusing to believe in the effectiveness of British radar. He compares the fire power, combat tactics, and ground control, analyzing the performance of both the planes (the Messerschmitt broke up in mid-air more often than the Spitfire) and the pilots (men such as the fabled Douglas Bader, who flew better with two artificial legs than other men with two real ones; or "Onkel Theo" Osterkamp, a WWI German ace, who became an ace in WWII as well, until he was finally ordered off combat flying at the age of forty-eight). We see the British General Staff divided against itself (after the Battle, the man most responsible for the British victory -- Sir Hugh Dowding, Commander in Chief, Fighter Command -- was dismissed); the German High Command, unsure of its objectives; exaggerated British claims (and an almost fatal shortage of pilots); and German technical superiority that was continually undercut by Nazi incompetence. Illustrated with dozens of rare photographs and with drawings and maps, Fighter is a superb work of military history for layman and specialists alike.

Libro Prima edizione
Mass market paperback. Condizione: Fair. Jean Paul Tremblay (Maps) (illustratore). xxi, [3], 311, [1] pages. Cover worn and soiled. Some page wear and rippling. Includes Acknowledgments, Introduction by A. J. P. Taylor, Selected Bibilography, and Index. Part One covers Strategy; Part Two covers Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, Commander in Chief Fighter Command; Part Three covers Weapons: The Metal Monoplane and Radar; Part Four covers Tactics; and Part Five covers The Results. The author was the Bestselling Author of The Ipcress File and Funeral in Berlin; Illustrated with over 100 striking photographs, maps, and drawings. Leonard Cyril Deighton (born 18 February 1929) is a British author. His publications have included history and military history, but he is best known for his spy novels. Deighton became a book and magazine illustrator?including designing the cover for first UK edition of Jack Kerouac's 1957 work On the Road. During an extended holiday in France he wrote his first novel, The IPCRESS File, which was published in 1962, and was a critical and commercial success, and he wrote several spy novels featuring the same central character, a working class intelligence officer, cynical and tough. Several of Deighton's works have been adapted for film and other media. Films include The Ipcress File (1965), Funeral in Berlin (1966), Billion Dollar Brain (1967) and Spy Story (1976). In 1988 Granada Television produced the miniseries Game, Set and Match based on his trilogy of the same name, and in 1995 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a "real time" dramatization of his novel Bomber. Derived from a Kirkus review: Len Deighton has written a military delight: a meticulous history of the men and machines of the Luftwaffe and the Royal Air Force in their struggle over Britain in the summer of 1940. Deighton describes the Battle in the stark, no-nonsense terms of a chess player recounting a game; the reader will not feel what it was like to be a Spitfire or Messerschmitt pilot, but he will know all the cold, hard constraints of aero-technology and strategy under which those airmen operated. In layman's terms, Deighton examines the effective range, armaments, and carrying capacities of the planes, the primitive radar systems employed by both sides, and the advantages and disadvantages of different deployments of aircraft. An extensive air war was unprecedented in 1940, and Deighton renders well the suspense of the deadly trials and errors of both air forces as they groped with logistical problems never before encountered. As in all wars, actual combat was but a small part of the war effort; Deighton thus emphasizes the mundane but vital matters of aircraft production and pilot training in Britain and Germany. Although he gives fullest play to these strategic concerns, Deighton does place them in a political context. The British Air Ministry, full of theorists who had never flown a plane, constantly hampered Air Marshal Hugh Dowding in the conduct of Britain's defense. On the other side, Hitler's preoccupation with Russia and the invincible incompetence of Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering precluded a Nazi victory. Deighton's history will be welcomed by all those who never weary of the world's "last romantic battle" First Ballantine Books Edition. Presumed first printing.
