The book begins by providing an excellent background to the Battle of Britain airfields in Britain; describing everything from the range of people working on a typical airfield; including station commanders; pilots; ground crew; and civilians; to descriptions of operations and plans of the buildings on an airfield. There is also airfield-by-airfield coverage of the Battle of Britain; with the layout of each airfield shown alongside its role in the overall battle. This information is complemented by over 150 contemporary photographs; maps; and airfield plans. Written by an accomplished military aviation author; this new study is the fruit of many years of research; and will be essential reading for all historians and keen aviation enthusiasts.

Good resourceBy Matthew BaumgartnerThis is a wonderful source for uniform data for all the forces involved in the peninsular war; including all the minor states that contributed contingents to Napoleon's armies in Spain. Cannot recommend highly enough for miniature wargamers; or anyone interested in the subject of military attire generally.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. EXCELLENT!!By Segelbootmann@hotmail.comUniforms of the Penninsular War is an excellent book. It contains lists of the orders of battle for every major battle. The plates are fantastic. The Imperial Guard looks just as ragged as a new regiment of conscipts. The information in this book is priceless for a wargamer!!!
