Reviews for The Secret Life of Fighter Command: Testimonials from the men and women who beat the Luftwaffe
'McKay stitches together a rich tapestry of material - some new, some familiar, including reports from the archive of The Times - to bring alive the all-engulfing drama of 1940, as Hitler's Luftwaffe attempted to establish air superiority over England as a prelude to invasion. Poetry and sharp politics.'
