Summary of Michael Korda's With Wings Like Eagles

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Battle of Britain, which was the British attempt to stop Hitler from taking over Europe, has become a symbol of courage and defiance against a more powerful and warlike enemy. But today, it has lost none of its luster.

#2 The Battle of Britain has come in for its share of revisionary history and debunking, though it has not been the subject of the same harsh criticism directed towards British motives and generalship in the American Revolutionary War, the Crimean War, or World War I.

#3 The what ifs of history are always difficult to answer, and they usually involve supposing an alternative outcome to a historical event. The speculation about the Battle of Britain is of a different kind. Nobody denies that we won it, but we simply do not know how serious Hitler was about invading Britain.

#4 The invasion was a sham, according to many people, including Derek Robinson, the author of Piece of Cake, a BBC series about a fictional fighter squadron in the Battle of Britain. The British were prepared and armed by midsummer to defeat the Germans on the ground.
