商品简介 In 1940 Britain was an island under siege. The march of the Nazi war machine had been unrelenting: France and Belgium had quickly fallen and now the British Empire and the Commonwealth stood alone to counter the grave threat. However, their fate would not be decided by armies of millions but by a small band of fighter pilots. It was on their shoulders that Britain’s best chance of survival rested. Above the villages and cities, playing fields and market towns, the skies of southern England were the scene of countless dogfights as the fledgling Fighter Command duelled daily against the might of the Luftwaffe. The Battle of Britain offers an in-depth assessment of the situation leading up to the summer of 1940, the strategies employed by the adversaries and the brutal aerial battle itself. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, contemporary art and posters, and accompanied by numerous first-hand accounts, this is a volume that captures the reality of a defining chapter in British history.1940年,英国还是一座被围困的岛屿。纳粹战争机器的行军一直无情:法国和比利时迅速陷落,现在大英帝国和英联邦独自对抗严重威胁。然而,决定他们命运的不是数百万大军,而是一小群战斗机飞行员。英国*好的生存机会就落在了他们的肩上。在村庄和城市、运动场和集镇的上空,英格兰南部的天空是无数混战的场景,刚刚成立的战斗机司令部每天都在与强大的德国空军进行决斗。 《不列颠之战》深入评估了 1940 年夏季之前的局势、对手所采用的策略以及残酷的空战本身。本书配有大量照片、当代艺术和海报插图,并附有大量第一手资料,捕捉了英国历史上一个决定性篇章的现实。
