Book Reviews of The Few

Book Review: Americans in the Battle of Britain
Summary: 3 Stars

The book centres on five American pilots who volunteered for service to fly with the Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain, and is a useful addition to the vast number of books that have been published about this particular conflict.

Unfortunately, the book is bedevilled by factual inaccuracies which should have been corrected during editing/proof reading and which ultimately detract from the narrative.
