What is The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight: 50 years of flying about?

The history of the Flight began with the formation of the Historic Aircraft Flight in July 1957, it was later to become known as The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Countless displays and fly-pasts have enthralled audiences and enthusiasts all over Britain and in many parts of Europe, when the traditional Avro Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane can be seen in their wartime colors and the growl of all six Merlin engines stirs many nostalgic memories. This book is written with the wholehearted support of the Flights Commanding Officer and the author has access to archive material. The book includes a Foreword from the OC BBMF, a complete history of the unit, chapters on each of the types operated, including the DC-3 Dakota and de Havilland Chipmunk and present-day operations. Photos include superb images from the BBMF archives, the authors collection that includes historic black and white shots from the early days, air-to-air color, personalities and behind-the-scenes images. This is the ultimate souvenir of the celebration of the BBMFs 50th Anniversary.
