LAKE WOBEGON SUMMER 1956

Many books have been written about the Battle of Britain and the events leading up to it. Some are autobiographies by fighter pilots, some are by historians writing in hindsight, researching documents and including personal memories of the participants. The author of this book was a World War II Spitfire pilot who has previously written and lectured about this battle, and he has presented a thesis in defence of Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, the Chief of Fighter Command.
