The Second World War's Battle of Britain - fought in the summer and fall of 1940 - was a struggle to control the skies over England. It was a battle in which Canadian airmen, aircraft, and women played key roles. Ted Barris weaves a narrative around their experiences in his newest book, Battle of Britain: Canadian Airmen in Their Finest Hour. It's one of many books he's written about Canadian experiences in the Second World War.
