Lufwaffe over England

[Chris Goss]

You will have to get a 2nd hand copy of Prices' book as it is long out of print

Got one. Thanks

in the Lela Presse BA series (Batailles Aériennes - Air Battles) Jean-Louis Roba has just started an overview of raids on the UK. This first volume of " LE BLITZ : La Luftwaffe sur les Îles Britaniques (1ére partie : du 1er janvier au 31 mars 1941) " covers the period 1 Jan to 31 March 1941. Great info and photos and artwork (Dekker). There's a pdf extract on the web site here

Thanks! That pdf looks great and will also revive my schoolboy French!

Very surprised no one's mentioned the exemplary 3 volumes of After The Battle's The Blitz Then and Now! Admittedly, it's getting a bit long in the tooth, but the detail is extremely useful, on a day-by-day basis, with thousands of great rare photos.

Look at post #2 to this thread......

Sorry - should have gone to Specsavers.

I believe that Mongoose is interested in Blitz/night raids which are not covered by these books

[mongoose44]

That's correct and just got Chris's and Price's books. The former looks very useful in particular and will keep me busy for a bit. Price is also interesting for other details.
