The Biggin Hill WingThe Biggin Hill Wing Bookplate

This book is an in-depth study of England's most famous fighter station during the year
of the Battle of Britain. It looks at the political upheaval within Fighter Command that
saw the removal of Dowding and Park and their replacement by Sholto Douglas and
Leigh-Mallory. The ongoing 'Big Wing' controversy and the resulting change in tactics
during 1941 are examined. The main part of the book is a chronological account of the
squadrons of the Biggin Hill Wing with particular emphasis on the pilots. The units
covered include Nos 66, 72, 74, 92, 124, and 609 Spitfire Squadrons and 264 Defiant
Night Fighter Squadron. The author's research is based on combat reports and squadron
Operation Record Books and first-hand accounts written by the participant pilots
in the battles over southern England and northern France. Extensive appendices
will include Air Combat Claims of the Wing, Operational Aircraft Losses, Details of
Selected Operations and The Great Escape - the marked influence of ex Biggin Hill pilots
on the escape from Stalag Luft III in 1944.
