Thwarted in his plans to invade, Hitler decided he would starve Britain into submission instead.

But with nowhere to land afterwards, it was a one-way mission. If the British fighter pilots survived combat, they would have no option but to bail out into the North Atlantic and hope they were picked up by the one of the convoy escorts. Survival was anything but certain ...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
