Great. Another unidentified as a reprint, reprint. Publishers should stop doing this. There is no reference to a previous hardback.
I may have to add Air World to my list of do not post publishers if this continues.

The blurb says: '...he is a globally acknowledged expert on the Battle of Britain, currently working on a career-topping eight volume official history for The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust and National Memorial to The Few...'

The 'official history', eh?
I asked him on Facebook a couple of years or so ago, who said it was 'official'? And as I am an 'Associate Member' of the Gemeinschaft der Jagdflieger', does that make all the books that I have written/co-written from the Luftwaffe side of things 'official'? A day later he blocked me on Facebook! Oh dear!
