With the Battle of Britain Combat Archive Series reaching its conclusion with Volume 20, it seemed reasonable that such a series should have some form of Appendices. The more we thought about it, the clearer the idea took shape. Each Appendix will feature a mainly statistical record of various elements of the Battle supported by insightful text, original documents and the latest research, as in the main series. This second Appendix features Luftwaffe Fighter Units in the Battle of Britain in a page by page easy reference guide. Each Gruppe page features the airfields operated from, the top 10 scoring pilots, total claims and total losses. There are also a couple of bar charts covering the claims and losses on each day of the Battle, for that Gruppe. It’s a unique guide and nicely complements the main series of books.
The statistical information has been gathered from a number of sources with the main core being supplied by Battle of Britain analyst Peter Cook. Peter has spent over 20 years developing a stunning Battle of Britain database which is second to none in documenting the details of the Battle.
See the sample pages for more details of this essential book for any Battle of Britain historian or enthusiast.

- Over 100 original wartime photos
- Top ten claiming pilots in each Gruppe
- Totals of Claims and Losses for each Gruppe
- List of airfields and dates of transfer for each Gruppe
- A4 format and printed full colour throughout
- 64 Pages
About the Author
Peter has been helping with the BofB archive ‘behind the scenes’ for many years after a long career in publishing. He has been using his database skills during the past 20 years to compile many categories of information into a large database of the Battle of Britain. This includes claims and loss statistics for the RAF and Luftwaffe, operational records from RAF Forms 540 and 541, and aircraft movements from Form 78s. He has also transcribed many of the combat reports used in the Battle of Britain Combat Archive and, with the assistance of several collaborators, is currently completing the transcription of all known RAF combat reports for the Battle of Britain period.
Simon W Parry is now one of Britain’s leading aviation historians, but his roots are in Surrey where he began his research into the battles and aircraft crashes in the county 30 years ago, a time it was possible to interview many witnesses to the events. His interest in the air war lead him to become a profession researcher at the National Archives, undertaking assignments for those not able to conduct their own investigations. Since the publication of his first book in 1987 he has focussed his attentions on the editing and production of over 40 aviation books for publishers. He is also one of Europe’s most experienced aviation archaeologists, contributing to several TV shows.
