From the Director
Ken’s picks for September comprise two books about the
Battle of Britain that took place in 1940. This is the 70th
anniversary of that air campaign that is credited with
changing the course of World War II. Richard Mosley authored
the Time-Life illustrated book entitled the Battle of
Britain. This is an easy-going documentary of mostly
pictures. The second book is the account of Peter Townsend
going by the title of Duel of Eagles. This is a blend
of history, biography and personal narrative from the
cockpit. It happens that a well-known local resident is
going to England to attend their national observance of
Battle of Britain Day on September 15th. It will be good to
hear about his visit when he gets back. |
