In this work, Andy Saunders takes a critical look at Dowding’s dispatch and analyzes the facts and details contained in that important document. He also puts “flesh on the bones” of the matters that the former commander in chief of RAF Fighter Command outlines, adding intriguing historical detail and perspective to the 1946 publication. Additionally, Andy looks at the behind-the-scenes machinations at the highest levels of government and Air Ministry before the dispatch finally saw the light of day. As a historical document, Dowding’s London Gazette dispatch is worthy of the critical analysis and factual expansion that the author provides in what is a uniquely different look at the Battle of Britain.
