Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain 1940

There are precious few visual records of the dramatic encounters that took place over southern England in the summer of 1940 as Nazi Germany prepared to invade Britain. Their Finest Hour relives those historic events through the work of some of the world's leading aviation and military artists as the RAF, though impossibly outnumbered, repelled the might of Hitler's war machine. The paintings and drawings in this beautifully illustrated new book have been assembled from the archives of the Military Gallery to commemorate the Battle of Britain, one of the most important air battles ever fought. It is a fitting tribute to those young men of RAF Fighter Command - 'Churchill's Few'.
