This second volume of the Pictorial History of the R.A.F. tells of the tremendous contribution that the Royal Air Force made to victory in the Second World War.
Officially - released informations, including the results of research not available to earlier historians, has enabled the two authors to compare with unprecedented clarity the qualities of the aircraft used by both sides in the Second World War.

Other chapters take the reader to North and East Africa, the Far East, over the Atlantic - wherever the Royal Air Force and its allies waged and won the war in the air - and shows clearly why the Royal Air Force was unbeatable in the face of what should have been impossible odds.
