The air battle for Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete began in June 1940 with the Italian declaration of war. In the past, there has been much controversy amongst air historians on many of the details of the operations. It was here, for example, that "Pat" Pattie believed by many to be the Royal Air Force's "unknown" top-scoring fighter pilot of the whole war, saw most of his action. Just how many kills did he achieve and how? Taken from extensive research into available British, Italian and German records, and interviews and correspondence with survivors or relatives of those present, this book seeks to provide an accurate portrait of the air war for Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete from 1940-41.

Bloody Shambles, Vol. 2: From the Defence of Sumatra to the fall of Burma

This volume carries on where FIRST OF THE FEW finished, in the same style and format. 10 July―the official first day of the Battle of Britain―witnessed increased aerial activity over the Channel and along the eastern and southern seaboards of the British coastline. The main assaults by ever-increasing formations of Luftwaffe bombers, escorted by Bf109s and Bf110s, were initially aimed at British merchant shipping convoys plying their trade of coal and other materials from the north of England to the southern ports. These attacks by the Germans often met with increasing success although RAF Spitfires and Hurricanes endeavored to repel the Heinkels, Dorniers and Ju88s, frequently with ill-afforded loss in pilots and aircraft. Within a month the Channel was effectively closed to British shipping. Only a change in the Luftwaffe’s tactics in mid-August, when the main attack changed to the attempted destruction of the RAF’s southern airfields, allowed small convoys to resume sneaking through without too greater hindrance.

For 12 days in May 1940 the Hurricane squadrons of the Royal Air Force faced the might of the German Air Force and carved a glorious chapter in the annals of aerial warfare. Using contemporary accounts, official records and personal interviews, from both sides, the authors have produced a detailed day-by-day study of the efforts of the outnumbered RAF fighters during the decisive initial stage of the Battle of France.
