"A gripping firsthand account of the Battle of Britain through eyewitness testimonies compiled by military historian Clayton Knight. Readers experience the intense aerial combat, bombing raids, and courage of those who defended Britain against the German Luftwaffe in 1940. A valuable addition to any World War II or aviation collection, this volume from the “We were there” series captures a pivotal moment through personal narratives."
When I started, I listened to this book on LibriVox and did not realize that it was part of a series for children. It was interesting, but I did not feel the characters were well developed.

Dnf. Disappointing. I think I would have enjoyed this book. But although the LibriVox narrator was very good, I couldn’t understand him when he spoke with characters’ German or French accents.
