Max Arthur
Englisch | Taschenbuch

'Never has so much been owed by so many, to so few.' This is the story of those few, in their own words.In the summer of 1940, the British frontlines were the skies above southern England. Spitfires and Hurricanes took on the might of the Luftwaffe, and its feared Messerschmitt fighters, dogfighting high above civilians watching on in awe.Hitler was determined to invade Britain and close down the Western Front for good. But his plan Operation Sea Lion could not begin while the RAF could still harry an invasion fleet. It had to be broken.Up to five times a day, the pilots of RAF Fighter Command scrambled to meet the inbound Luftwaffe. At one point, every available British fighter plane was airborne Britain threw literally everything into the fight, and was tested to the very limits. Against all odds 'The Few', as they came to be known, bought Britain's freedom many with their lives.These are the personal accounts of the pilots who fought and survived that battle. We will not see their like again.

Lost Voices of the Dambusters Raid
Lost Voices of the Dambusters Raid
Max Arthur
## The definitive oral history of the raid featuring contributions from Mission Commander Guy Gibson and Bouncing Bomb creator Barnes Wallis. The Dambusters raid was one of the most iconic missions of the Second World War. Three dams along Germany's Ruhr Valley, which powered the nation's industrial war effort, were the target. To overcome the torpedo nets and other defences, Barnes Wallis invented the 'bouncing' bomb to skim along the surface of the reservoirs before breaching the dam walls. 617 Squadron was chosen to deliver them. On the night of 16-17 May 1943, nineteen specially modified Lancaster bombers left Britain. Weeks of training under absolute secrecy were put to the test. Here, acclaimed oral historian Max Arthur has gathered together the voices of the Lancaster crews as well as the German civilians who endured the attack, compiling a unique picture of how the mission unfolded, and the devastation it caused. **'A masterpiece of concise storytelling' *Sunday Express***
