Wings Like Eagles

The Battle of Britain – from which sprang one of the most memorable statements of the War - “Never in the history of armed conflict of have so many, owed so much, to so few”. Wings Like Eagles recounts one of England’s darkest summers, and brightest moments, from the strategic perspective of the men who planned and managed the battle to its victory.

Air Chief Marshall Dowding was considered cantankerous, out of touch, and uninspiring. Dowding's genius and doggedly persistent sense of duty in the face of considerable political opposition to construct an air force and battle of attrition may have saved Great Britain from being Hitler’s next victim in his conquest of all Europe.

The story is well written, incisive, and enlightening. In the April 13 edition of Forbes magazine, Rich Karlgaard, Publisher, exudes, “It’s a superb book on high-stakes strategy and courage – a must for anyone who leads a business.” After reading Wings Like Eagles, I couldn’t agree more.
