The book is divided into three major parts. There is a personal presentation of the Battle over the skies of Britain in 1940, a battle without precedent and in which Peter encountered combat-hardened Luftwaffe pilots in Messerschmitts, Heinkels and Dorniers. Then there is a historical analysis of the factors which determined victory, and finally a vigorous defence of Dowding himself, who was unjustly and peremptorily removed from office without due recognition for his great achievement. In so doing, he exposes the conspiracy of the senior offices involved.
