WW2 (British) 1941 "The Battle of Britain" Historical Booklet - Replica

$12.00

An original wartime publication titled, "The Battle of Britain: An Air Ministry Account of the Great Days from 8th August – 31st October, 1940", published in 1941 by His Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) on behalf of the British Air Ministry and Ministry of Information.

It was an official historical and propaganda booklet written by Hilary Aidan St. George Saunders & distributed across the United Kingdom during the darkest days of World War II to capitalize on the Royal Air Force's (RAF) defensive success against the German Luftwaffe and boost public morale. It sold hundreds of thousands of copies for just sixpence (6d), thus becoming an instant bestseller and significantly helped solidify the public's legendary perception of "The Few" (the Allied fighter pilots who defended Britain).

It's a staple-bound informational booklet spanning 35 pages, detailing the chronological phases of the Royal Air Force's defense against the German Luftwaffe. It was issued during World War II as an official public account and propaganda/morale booster outlining the fierce aerial combat over Britain.

This is a modern copy replica of the original 1941 booklet & serves as an educational resource for World War II enthusiasts.
