The Battle of Britain: The Myth and the RealityThe battle of Britain pitted the Hurricanes and Spitfires of the Royal Air Force against the Messerschmitts of Hitler's Luftwaffe in the skies over England in 1940. It was immortalized in Churchill's words, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few," but it has since been debunked by revisionists as an inconclusive and even strategically flawed encounter for the British.

The battle of Britain pitted the Hurricanes and Spitfires of the Royal Air Force against the Messerschmitts of Hitler's Luftwaffe in the skies over England in 1940. It was immortalized in Churchill's words, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few," but it has since been debunked by revisionists as an inconclusive and even strategically flawed encounter for the British. In this assessment of the battle, Richard Overy restores the historical balance. He delivers shrewd judgments on the critical elements for both sides, from strategy to leadership, command organization, communications, and training to the technology of fighters, bombers, and radar. Overy shows that even if the popular myth overshoots the mark, the significance of the battle remains undiminished in the light of realistic judgments. A necessary battle, it marked the end of Germany's string of victories, forestalled a German invasion, and kept Britain in the war.Binding Type: Paperback

Orange looking, but large capacity
Size: One Size, Color: Brown
I ended up returning this product, it looks more orange in color than what is pictured. Also, it doesn't smell like leather. On a positive note, it was inexpensive and did have a large organization capacity.

Best wallet on the market.
Size: One Size, Color: Nubuck Black, Size: One Size, Color: Nubuck Black
This is the only wallet I buy now. Over and over. I like simple wallets. No bifold. Trifolds hurt your back. Hard case are a mess that rub your credit card mag strips off from friction. I found this a few years back and have bought 3. I am a stone worker so mine get worn from the dust and grit in my pockets faster than normal wear and I need to swap them out every couple of years. I like the simplicity and the fact that the pockets are stitched the same depth so your cards stack like varying length stair-style tabs rather than all the same depth. Wallet is RDIF protection lined. I can put like 15 cards in this wallet and it’s still thinner than a bifold holding 5. I love it. I mean it. I haven’t found a better wallet than this one. They are very well-built. Picture shows wallet with 19 cards + 40 dollars. 3/4 of an inch thick.

Good product although the leather is a bit stiff. Hopefully it will soften up over time. Fair price, fast shipping…
