I found the information about getting vintage planes, making sure they could still fly, and finding pilots qualified to do so very interesting. For those interested in the broad area of vintage aircraft and reenactments, this may well be the best aspect of the book. While I found it essential to a full appreciation of the film, my interest leans more toward what is on film in relation to the history itself.
I was not disappointed in this, learning about the people involved in the war and their involvement in the movie offered the opportunity to give historical context to much of what is in the film. I especially enjoyed the scene-by-scene breakdown of the film. This is a great companion for viewing the movie and in many places adds even more context to what actually happened that might not have made it into the film, or is just alluded to.
After reading this book, you will have a better appreciation of both the movie and the events of the Battle of Britain itself. For this reason I can highly recommend this to film lovers, aircraft/war hobbyists, and history buffs. There is something for everyone and it is all woven into a nice solid whole.
