Peter Townsend's Duel of Eagles is an excellent look at the RAF and the Luftwaffe's history up to the conclusion of the Battle.

The Spitfires were beautiful weren't they? The British had another nearly as beautiful imo.

The first flights of the Mosquito confirmed what the design team had hoped for – the fastest operational plane of its day. The Mks II, III ands IV could fly at 380 mph – 19 mph faster than the Battle of Britain Spitfire and 50 mph faster than the Hawker Hurricane.

RIP Cdr and Godspeed.
I have a Douglas Bader poster hung in my bonus room since I’m an aviation nut. Guy was incredible.

Reach for the Sky, about Captain Douglas Bader. He was credited with 22 aerial victories, four shared victories, six probables, one shared probable and 11 enemy aircraft damaged. The incredible thing about Bader is that he did it without legs, having lost them in a crash prior to the war.
