One man's legacy will save England
Great Britain, 1940. France has fallen to Germany, following the fates of Poland, Belgium, Luxemburg, and the Netherlands. Winston Churchill is determined to face the Nazi menace, no matter the costs. England stands alone.
Luckily for Churchill, engineer R.J. Mitchell had seen the future. He developed a remarkable vision for a fighter airplane like no other—fast, nimble, capable of overcoming any other plane and blasting it from the sky. He called it the Spitfire. By the time Hitler launches thousands of German bombers against London, Mitchell is long dead. But his legacy will save England.
The fate of the British people hinges on a small group of elite pilots stopping this onslaught—a band of brothers who will go down in history as The Few.
Review Quote
"Colorful, delightfully evocative, and filled with a cast of some of the greatest characters of the 20th century, Martin Dugard's new book is the closest you can get to London in 1940 without a time machine." —Garrett M. Graff
