If you ever get a chance to buy a copy, the VV best book on the BoB (IMHO) is "Battle Over Britain" by Francis K Mason F.R. Hist.S., A.R.Ae.S., RAF with German research by Martin Windrow, A.R.Hist.S., C.R.Ae.S.
"A history of the German air assaults on Great Britain, 1917-18 and July-December 1940, and of the development of Britain's air defences between the wars".
As an air defender of 30 years experience, I am in awe of this book, it's knowledge, and it's erudition.
My only sad omission is that I discovered it in a library, could not, despite extreme efforts, find a copy to buy, and had to "lose" it and pay the penalty. As I write it sits beside me with the Norfolk County library stamp on it (1975, forgive my youth).
Sorry for all those I denied the privilege.

(And if they are/where the same twins who started the Guinness book of Records, I call it quits!)
