Battle of France book

[John Beaman]

I have just received my copy and I want to add my congratulations to Peter for a magnificent work. As others have said, worth the price. As usual, from After The Battle, beautifully produced.

Aside from the daily diary, full of wonderfully coordinated claims and losses, the various indexes of planes, pilots, etc, are incredible. A lot of work went into those. Also, the narratives, especially the “phony war” section from the adjutant of 73 Squadron is most entertaining and gives a great flavor of the time. Lord, how innocent they were!

My only gripe is that the fond seems to be getting smaller, or, perhaps it is my aging eyes! I guess a larger font would have added several hundred pages.

All in all, very well done and, in my humble opinion, destined to be the “bible” of this period for some time to come.
