The exploits of the RAF s Few during the summer of 1940 are legendary and have gone down in history as the first major turning-point in the course of World War Two.

The Luftwaffe has always been a fascinating subject for enthusiasts everywhere and this new special 100-page magazine is packed with first-hand accounts, features by leading aviation writers, glorious artwork and contemporary photos. Prepared by the renowned editorial team that brings you Britain s top-selling aviation monthly, FlyPast, this special publication focuses on a formidable air force in this special anniversary year.
