Dowding and The First Victory, 1940.

July 1940: as Britain stood alone, the Army exhausted and defeated by the Wehrmacht and the Royal Navy stretched worldwide, only the English Cannel and the RAF remained between Britain and the expected German invasion. But the Luftwaffe's ill prepared and last minute assault on the RAF was met by a carefully planned strategy devised by High Dowding, Commander-in-Chief, RAF Fighter Command. Dowding fought and won Britain's most vital victory, the Battle of Britain. Yet he was dismissed in October 1940. Why?

The full story of Dowding's struggle to victory is revealed in this masterly new study by Second World War historian John Ray. Dowding was under daily attack from rivals in the RAF and the Air Ministry, who wanted a different approach to air defence. John Ray tracks the course of the Battle and the internal arguments that threatened Dowding's position and RAF supremacy.
