[Peter Cornwell]

Like Andy I once had a copy of this book but disposed of it over the years. From memory, I even tried to match some of the characters & events described with actual events but had no success whatsoever. I came to the conclusion that it was a work of propaganda fiction (sanctioned by the Ministry of Information ?) compiled for the American market by someone who clearly had some knowledge & understanding of Luftwaffe operational practices, personalities, & terminology threaded around well-documeted recent events in Europe. As such I would not accept it as a reliable historical source & place it in the same category as another even less-plausible curiosity, 'Engines Over London'.
