### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good text, shame about the captions.
  

*by T***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2021*

Bit of a curates egg. Have not read full text, but am told it is excellent.However, I'm finding it hard to get past the poor selection of images and the ludicrous captions.For example, a photo (page 133)of a ground based anti aircraft gun emplacement "appears to be a Bren gun" The gun is obviously a Vickers K. Maybe the caption writer has a problem with Vickers, (page 174) a hitherto unknown version of Hurricane 11D 'fitted with 37mm anti tank guns". Should be 40mm Vickers.Page 50, we have a description of the Defiant and 264 Squadron long discredited. The Defiant suffered no more losses than any other RAF fighter and 264 Squadron were no more optimistic in their claims than any other unit, allied or axis.The Defiant was deployed on front line for a further 7 weeks until withdrawn to North. They did not 'revert' to night fighter role, as they had never been deployed as night fighters previously. Three line caption, and three errors!I am more impressed by Christopher Shores and Peter Smiths books which cover similar if not precisely the same topics and timescale.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An ideal book for those interested in Air and Ground cooperation.
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 December 2020*

An ideal book for those interested in this area of WWII history, with many historians concentrating on mainly the RAF's fighter and bombing battles in Western Europe. The book is a useful tool for those interested in this sphere of warfare, and helps in tracing the Squadrons and some of the background on their movements and their assisting the ground forces.
