Whirlwind
Westland's Enigmatic Fighter
Faster and better armed than the Spitfire, the Whirlwind was the RAF's counter to a new generation of armoured German bombers which it expected to meet in English skies in 1940. This new study throws new light on why the RAF had such high hopes for the Whirlwind, but only ordered 114 before the programme was cancelled.

Volunteers and Pressed Men
How Britain and its Empire Raised its Forces in Two World Wars
The heroic myth of 20th century British history is that after the fall of France in June 1940 Britain 'stood alone'. This ignores the millions of men and women from around the world who, largely voluntarily, rallied to the British cause. As in 1914-18 Britain in 1939-45 could call on the human and material resources of the world's greatest empire.
