Items related to Air Battle for Dunkirk: 26 May - 3 June 1940
Synopsis
‘Where is the RAF?’ was the oft-quoted question asked by soldiers waiting on the beach at Dunkirk, to where they had retreated following the German blitzkrieg through northern France, and where they were now being pounded by the Luftwaffe. The air forces were there, as Norman Franks proves, detailing the outstanding achievements of the Allied pilots who had earlier had easy victories over the Polish, Dutch and Belgian air forces. The RAF’s achievement reminds us just how close Britain came to disaster in June 1940.

Review
"An absorbing read, which vindicates the RAF" (RAF Historical Journal)
“With the recent release of the blockbuster film on the same subject, Franks’ recounting of the air battle for Dunkirk is timely for those who left the movie theater wanting more... AIR BATTLE FOR DUNKIRK is recommended for those who loved the film and wanted more context. This book is especially recommended for those who are interested in aviation history.” (Nicole Granados Picture This Post)
"Leveraging mission logs and splicing firsthand written accounts, the narrative is both cohesive and seamless. The details are incredibly rich, yet not burdensome." (Air & Space Power Journal)
