A POWERFUL EDITION COMMEMORATING LUFTWAFFE DURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN

AIR ARMADA
By Robert Taylor 

18th of August 1940, the “Hardest Day” of the Battle of Britain, and Heinz Bär, the Luftwaffe’s top-scoring NCO Ace of the Battle, and one of the greatest Aces in history, climbs away from his airfield near Calais with the other pilots of 1./JG51 to escort the Do17s of KG76 for yet another deadly attack on the RAF. Away in the distance, Me110s from EPRG 210 also prepare to join the epic encounters that lie ahead.

After the fall of France in June 1940, Hitler’s domination of Europe was nearly complete. Only one tiny island stood in his way – Britain. Alone, and reeling from the calamity on the beaches of Dunkirk, the Nazi dictator expected Britain to capitulate immediately – he was wrong. The Battle of Britain was about to begin.

Air Armada is the first in Robert Taylor’s Battle of Britain Trilogy entitled 'The Hardest Days', issued to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the battle. All three prints in this inspiring series focus on the “Hardest Days” which began on August 12th and ended with heavy casualties for both sides on August 18th.
