Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain

Chapter 15 read

First two pages recount a night mission on 15 October, with the Do 17 getting back to France. Another page about flying in the dark. Two pages about flying vests and emergency buoys in the Channel. A page and a half about RAF intelligence information found on Lw bodies washed up on the English coast. More pages on intelligence gathered by the Luftwaffe. Then about 5-6 pages on beam navigation and the attack on Coventry. Yep, that was November, but is justified as being within the timescale of the Luftschlacht um England, which the Lw claimed went on into the Spring of 1941, so amply justifies this being included in a book on the Battle of Britain…
