I agree with you 100%. I'm just not sure it's still available. Sure there are erros that have been recognised since it came out in 1969 but Mason gives a tremendous feel for unfolding events and also a valuable account of the evolution of air defence of Britain from the the Great war through to 1940.
Another good source was the Air Miistry daily bulletins from the Battle that were published by the UK Ministry of Defence on their website (
www.mod.gov.uk) for the 60th Anniversary. I haven't checked if they are still there but if they are, they are evocative reading.
