Quatrième de couverture :
Revue de presse :
In the summer of 1940, fewer than three thousand young fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force stood between Hitler and the victory that seemed almost within his grasp.
In this superb history of three epic months that saved the world, Michael Korda brilliantly re-creates the intensity of combat in "the long, delirious, burning blue" of the sky above southern England—while tracing, perhaps for the first time, the entire complex web of political, diplomatic, scientific, industrial, and human decisions during the 1930s that inexorably led to the world's first, greatest, and most decisive air battle. With Wings Like Eagles brings to vivid life the extraordinary men and women on both sides of the conflict—from Winston Churchill, Neville Chamberlain, and Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring to the ground crews, the German pilots, the American volunteers, and the courageous airmen and airwomen of the RAF.
"* 'Brilliantly told...I was fascinated by the first-class rehabilitation job done on Dowding. Until this book, I had no idea how detailed and determined were his preparations from 1936 - 1940'. Winston S Churchill * 'His mastery of aero-technics is phenomenal, and no-one can make an exciting and complex tale more understandable'. --Sir Alistair Horne
'Korda's natural talent and experience as a storyteller has enabled him to bind all the disparate and sometimes conflicting episodes into a gripping story. A formidable job, beautifully completed.' --Len Deighton author of Fighter and Bomber.
'We climb into our cockpits for the dog-fights with an awareness none of the pilots had of the context of politics, personalities, engineering and strategy from both sides of the battle. It is compelling history.' --Sir Harold Evans"

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "Bold and refreshing. Korda writes with great elegance and flair." --Wall Street Journal Michael Korda's brilliant work of history takes the reader back to the summer of 1940, when fewer than three thousand young fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force--often no more than nine hundred on any given day--stood between Hitler and the victory that seemed almost within his grasp.Korda recreates the intensity of combat in the "long, delirious, burning blue" of the sky above southern England and, perhaps, for the first time, traces the entire complex web of political, diplomatic, scientific, industrial, and human decisions that led inexorably to the world's first, greatest, and most decisive air battle. Winston Churchill memorable said about the Battle of Britain, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." Here is the story of "the few," and how they prevailed against the odds, deprived Hitler of victory, and saved the world during three epic months in 1940. Korda's brilliant work of history takes the reader back to the summer of 1940, when fewer than 3,000 young fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force--often no more than 900 on any given day--stood between Hitler and the victory that seemed almost within his grasp.
