History is swamped by patriotic myths about the aerial combat fought between the RAF and the Luftwaffe over the summer of 1940. In his gripping history of the Battle of Britain, Len Deighton drew on a decade of research and his own wartime experiences to puncture these myths and point towards a more objective, and even more inspiring, truth.

Revolutionised thinking about the Battle of Britain in a way that has not been seriously challenged since. (Robert Dawson Scott)
Must surely rank as the most honest attempt yet to tell how the Battle of Britain really was. (Andrew Wilson)
The research was so meticulous that his conclusions, chiefly that the Few were very brave but their leaders were daft, could not easily be set aside. Indeed, they are now part of the orthodoxy.
The best, most dispassionate story of the battle I have read and I say that even though the book destroyed many of my illusions and, indeed, attacks the validity of some of what I wrote as an eyewitness. (Drew Middleton)
[We learn] that British anti-aircraft fire was ineffective, that some R.A.F. ground personnel fled under fire, that the Admiralty provoked costly skirmishes ...The book resounds with exploded myths. (Leonard Bushkoff)
Deighton has shown himself to be the most protean of British best-sellers. (John Sutherland)

I tried to read this book when Len Deighton worked in Ireland in the 1970s. Len gave my mother a copy but I was only 17 and found it too much. Revisiting Spitfire all these years later I discovered the level of detail extraordinary and thoroughly enjoyed this masterpiece.

Deighton is a master writer

I recently read and enjoyed 'Bomber' by Len Deighton so I sought this out and I must say it makes a compelling companion piece. It is shorter but no less impressive in the detail and analysis. Deighton is scrupulously fair to both sides. I will now try to discover some of the personal stories of the pilots. They really were our greatest generation.

Well written and easy to listen to. Lots of new facts and insights I haven't heard before. Will definitely listen again soon and write some of them down.

I enjoyed listening to ‘Fighter’, more of a straightforward historical account that these author’s great work, ‘Bomber’ which cleverly mixes fact with fiction. In spite of the author’s claim in the introduction I didn’t learn too much that was new, probably because there have been a number of accounts written since ‘Fighter’ was published, all benefitting from new information that has come to light. Don’t let that put you off. This is worth listening to

Enjoyable account, we’ll read and informative
