SECOND HAND BOOKS

804778/73 - THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN THEN AND NOW (After The Battle) 1980 Edition

Edited By Winston G Ramsey

First published to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, After the Battle ploughed an entirely fresh furrow across this legendary field of human conflict to produce a book which has now come to be regarded as a memorial in itself to 'The Few'. Never before has such detailed coverage been given to the losses of either the Royal Air Force or the Luftwaffe. The graves of RAF aircrew that were killed have been listed, visited by the editorial team and photographed as a complete and lasting record of those that died. The pilots, their memorials, crashes and crash sites, and the aircraft that have survived are profusely illustrated. Twenty of the most famous fighter aerodromes have been explored and described as they were at the time and as they are today. Also included is a complete listing of 'The Few' — more than twenty-five years' work by the late John Holloway. 

This second edition has an extra 96 pages bringing together all the additional research and information on the battle which has come to light since the book was originally published.  The latest edition is now Volume 5.  I believe an update is available for these earlier volumes at a small cost.

Pages have a bit of a crinkle to them and so probably kept in a cold room.  The content appears clean and unmarked throughout and the jacket is in nice condition, now in protective brodart clear cover.  This is a heavy book and so will be more costly to post.
