The Battle of Britain by Gillian Clements
Great Events: Battle of Britain is a story surrounding the conflict between the German Luftwaffe and RAF Fighter Command, from August to October 1940. During this time both air forces fought for supremacy in the skies over England. The book traces the events which put at end to Germany's invasion plans. Gillian Clements tells the story through a lively combination of text and illustration (including some speech bubbles, labelled maps etc). In this way she makes history child-friendly and accessible but still manages to incorporate, wherever possible, primary source material (such as eyewitness accounts and documentary evidence).
Gillian Clements is an established author-illustrator with a particular reputation for illustrated non-fiction. Her books include The Illustrated History of the World and The Truth About Castles. She studied illustration at Brighton and lives in Herefordshire.
