Heroes of Fighter Command Surrey

Surrey with its proximity to London, was right from the start one of the most important counties for RAF Fighter Command. Under its charismatic head, Air Chief Marshall Hugh Dowding, Fighter Command's undoubted finest hour was the Battle of Britain.

In this vivid and carefully researched account, Rupert Matthews describes Surrey's air war from Dunkirk to D-Day and pays tributes to its many heroes - some of them well known such as Squadron Leader Peter Townsend and Wing Commander 'Johnnie' Johnson and others less celebrated but just as valiant.
