DUEL of EAGLES

Signed on the title page by

Group Captain Peter Townsend

Simon and Schuster. First USA Edition, second printing 1970.  480 pages with photos and maps.

Fine Condition hardback book which is clean, tight, square and bright with a red top edge and blue and white headbands. The Fine condition unclipped dustjacket looks smart in its Brodart jacket.  A top condition, nicely signed copy of this iconic Battle of Britain book.

A detailed analysis of the events leading to the Battle of Britain and an account of the Battle itself told by Group Captain Peter Townsend, a Hurricane Squadron Commander who was in the thick of the fighting with 85 Squadron.

Still one of the best and most readable books about the Battle and a flat signed copy is hard to find, particularly in this condition.
