Spitfire

Meer over het boek

Shimmering in the morning sun, wave upon wave of bombers, driving for London. Stepped above and behind, the serried ranks of Messerschmitts. Covering mile upon mile of sky, as far as the eye could see. It was at once magnificent and terrible. I broke hard into attack, pulling the Spitfire into a climbing, spiraling turn as I did so. Read about the development of the Spitfire, heroic anecdotes of the pilots in the Battle of Britain, and amazing aerial combat in this True Combat Compendium. Three accounts filled with the courage of war, interwoven with firsthand narrative that takes you into the heart of battle. Short, sharp, and true to life, Chronicles of War describe the campaigns, battles, and close-up combat experiences of World War II in an exciting, quick-to-read format. Each title in the series provides gripping, intimate insights into the violent confrontations, extreme heroism, and terrible brutality of the greatest conflict the world has ever known.
