Two Looks at Battle of Britain

WITH the Battle of Britain, the pivotal air battle of the Second World War, marking its 80th anniversary this summer, Worcester’s expert on the conflict Dilip Sarkar, has published two new books.

The first, “Battle of Britain 1940: The Finest Hour’s Human Cost”, has just been released and concerns the personal and deeply moving stories of casualties. While later in July “Letters From The Few: Unique Memories of the Battle of Britain” will go on sale.

“Each chapter is about a survivor I knew,” said Dilip, “and is based upon my extensive correspondence with them. It’s a very personal book.”
