Synopsis
A highly illustrated study of the performance of the British Army's Anti-Aircraft (AA) Command against the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz., This is the account of machines of war pitted against each other and the combatants who operated them. Step onto the battlefield and immerse yourself in the experience of real historic combat. Luftwaffe Bombers vs British AA Defences, Britain 1940-41, When the Battle of Britain commenced, in July 1940, the Luftwaffe committed more than 1,200 medium bombers, 300 Ju 87 Stukas and 760 Bf 109 and Bf 110 fighters to the campaign. The response from AA Command mustered 359 4.5in., 666 3.7in. and 226 3in. guns, as well as 3,538 light and medium AA weapons to tackle low-level Luftwaffe raiders, but it still struggled to provide sufficient protection for every key site. Nevertheless, AA gunners had claimed almost 300 German aircraft shot down by the end of the Battle of Britain on 31 October, upping this count to 578 before the Blitz finished on 11 May 1941. In this action-packed study, World War II aviation expert Donald Nijboer examines the capabilities of both sides, and explores how AA Command not only shot down enemy aircraft, but - more importantly - forced them to fly higher, broke up their formations and decreased their bombing accuracy. Tactical diagrams, maps, archival photographs and newly commissioned artwork provide additional insight and detail, bringing the bitter struggle over the skies of southern England to life., An illustrated study of the British Army's Anti-Aircraft (AA) Command's performance against the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. When the Battle of Britain commenced in July 1940, the Luftwaffe committed more than 1,200 medium bombers, 300 Ju 87 Stukas and 760 Bf 109 and Bf 110 fighters to the campaign. The response from British AA Command mustered 359 4.5in. guns, 666 3.7in. guns and 226 3in. guns, as well as 3,538 light and medium AA guns to tackle low-level Luftwaffe raiders, but was under-gunned and overstretched, struggling to provide sufficient weapons for every key site. Nevertheless, AA gunners shot down some 300 German aircraft by the end of the Battle of Britain on 31 October 1940, upping this count to 578 before the Blitz finished on 11 May 1941, and leading an estimated 48 per cent of Luftwaffe bombers to turn back because of heavy AA fire. In this action-packed study, World War 2 aviation expert Donald Nijboer examines the capabilities of both sides, and explores how British AA Command not only shot down so many enemy aircraft, but also forced them to fly higher, broke up their formations and decreased their accuracy. Tactical diagrams, maps, archival photographs and newly commissioned artwork provide additional insight and detail, helping to bring the bitter struggle over the skies of southern England to life.
