We are on the second print of ‘Enemy Sighted’. It’s a fascinating story of a secret underground Bunker … that helped win the Battle of Britain … and in doing so … helped save the Royal Air Force … helped save Great Britain … and indeed helped save the free world … because without victory over Britain … there could have been no victory in Europe … and without victory in Europe there could have been no victory over the coalition of evil … Nazi Germany … Fascist Italy … and Imperial Japan. The Bunker was an integral part of Britain’s integrated air defence system … of which Churchill said …

‘All the ascendancy of the Hurricanes and Spitfires would have been fruitless, but for the system which had been devised, and built before the war. It had been shaped and refined in constant action, and all was now fused together into a most elaborate instrument of war, the like of which existed nowhere in the world.’

In my book, I weave FACTS … THREATS … DECISIONS … ACTIONS … and OUTCOMES … together … and present them in a way that will transport you BACK in time … BACK to the Battle for France … BACK to the evacuation from Dunkirk … and BACK through the perilous days of the Battle of Britain … when all that stood in the way of a Nazi invasion … was Fighter Command.

Be prepared to one moment … be sitting alongside Winston Churchill … 60 feet below ground in the 11 Group Operations Room at Uxbridge … on what would come to be known as Battle of Britain Day …

‘All were in the air. The lower line of bulbs was out. There was not one squadron left in reserve … Hitherto I had watched in silence. I now asked, ‘What other reserves have we?’ ‘There are none,’ said Air Vice-Marshal Park … The odds were great … Our margins small … The stakes infinite.’

And the next moment … be baling out of a burning Spitfire … 18,000 feet over Kent …

‘I attacked He 111 with a two second burst, diving from astern, then I fired a short burst at an Me 109 but observed no results. Sometime later I saw an unescorted formation of Do 17s over the coast and made a diving frontal quarter attack [number] one on the port flank of the formation from out of the sun. I fired a short burst and dived through the formation and turned to make an astern attack. I saw the two Do 17s at which I had fired lagging behind, emitting black smoke. I was then fired at, and flames started to come through my instrument panel, which was broken, so I baled out.’
