4655. The Battle of Britain The Greatest Air Battle of World War II, by Richard Hough and Denis Richards (read 26 Dec 2009) I have read great books by Richard Hough and so expected this to be a good book. But it is apparently designed for people who were in the Battle or know somebody who was. Thus it is full of names and details of individual exploits--thoroughly obscuring the forest by telling about the trees. The account of what leading Britons and nazis thought and did is good, but one has to slog through lots of personal details to get the overall story. Definitely a disappointing book½
