Men of The Desert Air Force

{detailed description}The Allied struggle against the Axis Powers in North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean in 1940-43 was crucial, not only to the outcome of the Middle East war but as the basis for ultimate defeat of Hitler's and Mussolini's totalitarian empires. In this book, following the main theme of his successful Bomber Barons and Fighter Pilots of the RAF 1939-45, Chaz Bowyer highlights the courage, prowess and sacrifices of a select and largely little known handful of individual men, and particular facets of that campaign, to exemplify the diverse nationalities and characters of the men of the so-termed 'Desert Air Force'. Men such as Adrian Warburton, George Buerling, "Pat" Pattle, Neville Duke etc.
From a weak, ill-equipped force in 1940, the DAF grew to dominate the Mediterranean skies by 1943, and in the process laid the foundations of victory.
