The RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is part of Britain's national heritage. Its air and ground crews believe passionately that the Flight's historic aircraft should be kept airworthy rather than gathering dust in a museum.

The aircraft of the Flight are living, flying memorials to all those men and women who flew, maintained and supported these aircraft in wartime.

Every year the Flight routinely makes over 700 individual aircraft appearances - from major air shows to village fetes.

This unique boxed set of Haynes aircraft manuals showcases the three principal aircraft types operated by the Flight - Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane and Avro Lancaster.

You can read about two of the greatest fighter aircraft of the 20th century, the Spitfire and Hurricane, which made history during the Battle of Britain in 1940, and the mighty Avro Lancaster, mainstay of the RAF's night bomber offensive in the Second World War.

This unique three-book boxed set of Haynes aircraft manuals is published jointly with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) to mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. When the RAF and Luftwaffe clashed over southern England in the summer of 1940, three iconic fighter aircraft locked horns in mortal combat: they were the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane of the RAF, and the Luftwaffe’s Messerschmitt Bf109. This officially endorsed commemorative boxed set tells you about three great fighter aircraft of the 20th century.
