About

The history of the Greek air force during the WW2, from its poorly equipped start against the Italians to its eventual resurgence in North Africa and return to Greece.

On October 28th, 1940, when Greece was invaded by Mussolini's Italy, the Royal Hellenic Air Force was severely outgunned. Without warning, the RHAF's paltry fleet was pitted against the much larger and more advanced Regia Aeronautica, whose pilots had recently honed their skills in the Spanish Civil War.

Though the British Royal Air Force gave whatever assistance it could, the aerial war was unequal from the beginning. John Carr draws on meticulous research and firsthand accounts to shed light on the skill and heroism of the Greek airmen and their contributions to WWII air warfare.

Includes monochrome images, maps.
