Summary:
On Sunday, 18 August 1940, the Luftwaffe launched three major air assaults against targets in southern England. In the course of these and numerous smaller actions, 100 German and 136 British aircraft were destroyed or damaged in the air or on the ground. On no other day during the battle of Britain would either side suffer a greater number of aircraft put out of action. This book describes the events of that 24-hour period.
