THE FINAL FEW The Last Surviving Pilots of the Battle of Britain Tell Their Stories DILIP SARKAR AMBERLEY PUBLISHING 2015 1st Edition. 24 x 16 cm. 254 pp. HB/DJ During the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone, defying the Luftwaffe's aerial assault - the prelude to a proposed seaborne invasion. Fighter Command faced this challenge against overwhelming odds with immeasurable courage and tenacity, the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, immortalising these young Spitfire and Hurricane pilots as The Few'. Some 2,927 aircrew comprised the 'Few', 544 of whom made the ultimate sacrifice that fateful summer, now known as the Battle of Britain. A further 791 would perish before the war's end.
