DOGFIGHT THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN

‘Claasen has a unique ability to put the reader in the cockpit of a Spitfire or Hurricane in order to understand the experience of 1940 fighter combat. He does a superb job in following the story of the Anzac pilots from recruitment to training to the harsh conditions of one of history’s most decisive battles. Dogfight is an important addition to the literature on the World War Two air war.’

James Corum, author of The Luftwaffe’s Way of War

‘Dogfight is a fresh look at the Battle of Britain from an Antipodean perspective. As well as being remarkably lucid and insightful, it’s packed with drama, incident and great characters. Adam Claasen has done Second World War history a real service by telling brilliantly the story of the Anzacs’ enormous contribution to the greatest air battle ever fought.’

Patrick Bishop, author of Fighter Boys
