My 4* review of Robert Forsyth's new book 'Defenders of the Reich: The Luftwaffeโ€™s War Against Americaโ€™s Bombers' has now been published in the @Telegraph. A fascinating dive into the Luftwaffe's daunting task of countering the USAAF's daylight CBO raids: https://t.co/nlSjYO3W2E

Currently in the process of editing a new, extended two-part article on the making of the 1969 film 'Battle of Britain'. In the meantime, check out a short poem that I was inspired to write on the #BattleOfBritain during my final edits on #EagleDays: https://t.co/4fE4F7u4UX

Spitfire P7350 โฆ@RAFBBMFโฉ yesterday. The story has always been that P7350 was shot down on 25 Oct 1940 near Hastings when flown by Plt Off Martel. Research for revised โ€˜Battle of Britain Then & Nowโ€™ โฆ@penswordbooksโฉ reveals that this is not the story at all!

How to Build a Spitfire by David Price is out TODAY! A homage to the aircraft that won the Battle of Britain, marrying the story of how the author built a replica in his garden & its operational history. Think WWII crossed with The Repair Shop! Out now - https://t.co/8AP0yi7msP

@SpitfireFilly @Lensofhistory84 Just finished it - really enjoyed the analysis and perspective. An excellent handling of a well worn story that brought out plenty I didn't know about the battle

@SpitfireFilly @Lensofhistory84 A brilliant read. Some I knew, but much I didn't. Also, filled many gaps which, stories that I've read years ago, on their own, were flimsy.
