Battle Line  by Philip West
On the 6th June 1944 the invasion of Normandy commenced. The RAF was of course a major combatant and formed part of a dedicated Allied force tasked with freeing Europe. V.E. Day finally signaled the end of hostilities on the 8th May 1945. During those bitter months many great air battles were displaying the eerie feeling of the victor and vanquished between two of the greatest aircraft ever built. On the occasion the Spitfire pilot in victory and the Me109 pilot lucky to escape to safety.
Never before in the history of was had such an impressive and awesome gathering of aircraft come together. The allies quest was for freedom with the Luftwaffe fighting for its very existence - THE BATTLE LINES WERE DRAWN.
