Description: 303 POLISH SQUADRON BATTLE OF BRITAIN DIARYby Richard King, 352 pages, Approx 100 b/w photos, illustrated throughout 303 (Polish) Squadron, RAF, was to emerge as the RAF’s top-scoring unit of the Battle of Britain. This book tells its story during that fateful summer of 1940: from formation amidst political wrangling, though training against a background of official suspicion and distrust, to its entry into combat at a critical period in the Battle. The squadron’s story is told through the pilots’ own combat reports and diaries, one of which uniquely captured the personal thoughts of the airmen through their own contributions. Superbly illustrated with many rare photos taken by squadron personnel at the time, this book offers a unique insight into the day-to-day life of an RAF fighter squadron during the Battle of Britain and allows the reader to draw their own conclusions as to the legend of 303 Squadron, fact or myth? All dust jackets for hardcover books are protected with clear plastic, fully removalbe covers. These will protect the dust jacket forever, keeping it in new condition for the life of the book. These are especially handy for the large oversize books whose jackets easily get torn as you might have noticed when browsing in bookstores. These are not a permanent part of the jacket, if you don't like it you can easily remove it without damaging the jacket. I cover all hardcover books with these covers and there are so popular that many customers buy them from me to put on books in their own collection.All books are entirely in English unless noted otherwise.

I SHIP ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET.Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse! Please look at my ebay store where many similar titles are available.
