How the RAF Beat the Luftwaffe

The Luftwaffe had to be used in a decisive way in the Battle of Britain as a means of conducting total air war. Its size, technical equipment and the means at its disposal precluded the Luftwaffe from fulfilling this mission. How did the RAF beat the Luftwaffe in World War II, or in fact, was it the fact that they did not lose which later enabled them to claim victory - a victory that would have been impossible without the participation of the Americans from early 1943. This ground-breaking study looks at the main campaigns in which the RAF - and later the Allies - faced the Luftwaffe.
