Korda's brilliant work of history takes the reader back to the summer of 1940when fewer than three thousand young fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force - often no more than nine hundred on any given day - stood between Hitler and the victory that seemed almost within his grasp.Korda recreates the intensity of combat in "the longdeliriousburning blue" of the sky above southern Englandand at the same time - perhaps for the first time - traces the entire complex web of politicaldiplomaticscientificindustrial and human decisions during the 1930's that led inexorably to the world's firstgreatestand most decisive air battle.Korda deftly interweaves the critical strands of the story - the invention of radar the most important of Britain's military secrets; the developments by such visionary aircraft designers as R.J. MitchellSidney Camm and Willy Messerschmitt of the revolutionaryall-metalhigh-speed monoplane fighters the British Spitfire and Hurricane and the German Bf 109; the rise of the theory of air bombing as the decisive weapon of modern warfare and the prevailing belief that "the bomber will always get through" in the words of British prime minister Stanley Baldwin.As Nazi Germany rearmed swiftly after 1933building up its bomber forceonly one manthe central figure of Korda's bookAir Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowdingthe ecentric infuriatingobstinatedifficultand astonishingly foresighted creator and leader of RAF Fighter Commanddid not believe that the bomber would always get through and was determined to provide Britain with a weapon few people wanted to believe was needed or even possible.Dowding persevered - despite oppositionshortage of fundingand bureaucratic infighting - to perfect the British fighter force just in time to meet and defeat the German onslaught.Korda brings to life the extraordinary men and women on both sides of the conflictfrom such major historical figures as Winston Churchill Neville Chamberlainand Reichsmarschall Herman Goring and his disputations and bitterly feuding generals to the British and German pilotsthe American airmen who joined the RAF just in time for the Battle of Britainthe young airwomen of the RAFthe ground crews who refueled and rearmed the fighters in the middle of heavy German raidsand such heroic figures as Douglas Bader Josef Frantiseland the Luftwaffe aces Adolf Galland and his archrival Werner Molders. Winston Churchill memorably said about the Battle of Britain "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." Here is the story of "the few"and how they prevailed against the odds deprived Hitler of victoryand saved the world during three epic months in 1940. <br />Please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk because of the weight of this itemfor correctinsured shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page! </p> US.NY,HARPER COLLINS PUBLISHERS,2009. hardcover‎

‎The Air Mobility Workhorse. C-130 Hercules Aircraft in Royal Australian Air Force RAAF Service‎

‎Sydney: Big Sky Publishing. 2025. Quarto Size approx 23x29cm. Mint condition in pictorial laminated boards. Housed in slipcase. A new set. Limited edition. Illustrated with Colour and Black & White Photographs. Colour maps. B/w illustrations. This is a heavy book and will cost more to ship. Please contact us for a precise quote for your part of the world. Robust professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 1216 pages. Air Mobility Workhorse recounts the operational history of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules in Royal Australian Air Force RAAF service spanning the A E and H models from 1958 to 2012 leaving the current J model to be covered in the future. The C-130 was the catalyst for a transformational shift from Second World War technology to leading-edge aircraft systems in RAAF air mobility and the broader Air Force. The Hercules has become iconic in Australian culture as the first thing viewers often see of news reports when Australia reaches out to the rest of the world to offer aid in times of disaster. The author’s intimate knowledge of the aircraft along with his extensive service on them brings an insight that only someone who has flown them in testing times can bring. His extensive connections within the Hercules community have brought their stories ‘from the inside’ to give readers a rare glimpse of service in military aviation. It is a detailed and balanced reflection of what the mighty Hercules did for Australia and how it affected those who flew it maintained it supported it flew as passengers or benefited from the missions it conducted. This aircraft was truly Australia’s Air Mobility Workhorse. . New. 1st Edition. Hardback. Big Sky Publishing hardcover‎
