Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. A year-by-year account, from the outbreak of war in September 1939 to final victory in Europe in May 1945. Fighter Command's war-winning aircraft are featured, including the Supermarine fighter of World War 2; the Hawker Typhoon, much-feared in its ground-attack role; and the de Havilland Mosquito, without peer as a night-fighter. This book contains a wealth of photographs from the archives of the Imperial War Museum, many published for the first time. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 160 pages.

Faint erasure marks to front endpaper else a lovely, clean copy. Light scuffing to rear panel of dustwrapper.
