Battle of Britain over Kent - Bitter Harvest - May/August 1940

[hucks216]

It seems that Wingleader books also have something similar but far more in-depth and over a wider area. I don't think it is advertised on their site yet but they did send out news of it in their latest email newsletter. Taken from that newsletter...

A message from Simon Parry and Mark Postlethwaite - Co Founders Red Kite.
We can exclusively reveal here for the first time, details of a new series of books on the Battle of Britain due to be launched in August 2015. The Battle of Britain Combat Archive is set to be the most significant work on the Battle produced since the Battle of Britain Then and Now was published in the 1980s.

We have gathered together a huge amount of original source material and are assembling some of the world’s leading experts on the Battle of Britain to contribute their knowledge to the project.

The series of approximately 10 books will cover every combat that took place during the Battle and record the claims and losses from both sides. It will also illustrate each combat with a map and bring them to life with first-hand accounts from the pilots themselves.

We have assembled one of the biggest photographic archives for the period to illustrate the series with, but are still on the hunt for more. In particular, we are very keen to find photos of as many of the RAF’s Battle of Britain casualties as possible, to provide each airman with a visual tribute in the series.

If you have any Battle of Britain period material and would like to help or get involved with this landmark project please get in touch by replying to this email, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Volume One covering the first weeks of July will be published in August 2015.
