- Luftwaffe Fighters' Battle of Britain
The story of how the outnumbered RAF fought and defeated the superior Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain will always be a source of fascination. However, accounts of summer 1940 have tended to centre on the British defenders, both in the air and on the ground, whilst the story of the losing German side has remained largely untold.
In 1939 the Luftwaffe was opposed to an RAF which was disorganized and inferior in both technology and number. Using first hand accounts from Luftwaffe pilots, best-selling author Chris Goss explains how those same German aircrew felt just months later when they flew against a tenacious enemy with nothing to lose.
The Luftwaffe Fighters' Battle of Britain provides a new insight into the experiences of the German fighter and bomber crews from the attacker's viewpoint.

Chris Goss
Born in South Wales in 1961, Chris Goss became interested in aviation history from an early age and as a teenager began to actively research World War Two aircraft crashes, contacting both German and RAF aircrew. After a successful career in the RAF, retiring early with the rank of Wing Commander, in 2014 he began to write about and research aviation history full time. This is his sixth title for Classic Publications, a roster which includes books on the combat histories of the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 and Dornier Do 17.
