Under the stimulus of war a few short years saw a transformation in war plane design, as the biplanes of an earlier era gave way to new generations of combat aircraft of unprecedented power. This book covers all the British aircraft of that desperate struggle, from the Spitfire and Hurricane that blunted the German blizkreig to the Lancaster, principal tool of the RAF's strategic bomber offensive, and the jet-propelled Meteor that pointed the way to the future.
