Britain at War June issue OUT NOW

Featuring:

Typhoons Over the Beaches
The lead up to, during and after D-Day was an extremely hectic period – as Mark Hillier discovered from the flying log book of one Typhoon pilot, Pilot Officer Brian Spragg.

PLUS:

WW1 Saving Private Ryan
On 21 October 1914, Driver James Bell enlisted in the Australian Army and embarked for service overseas. Little would he have known that he would eventually return home under the most unusual circumstances.

The Funeral Pyre
Sitting majestically on the South Downs near Brighton is the Chattri Memorial. Dedicated to Hindu and Sikh soldiers who had died in the First World War, Peter Hibbs reveals how it was damaged in the Second World War.

Rough Justice
Though Operation Pedestal succeeded and Malta was re-supplied and saved, writes Brian Crabb, some of those involved were brought before Courts Martial.

The Seaborne Observers
Only one body of men had the knowledge and experience to help identify aircraft accurately and so, on D-Day, the Royal Observer Corps went to sea.

and much more!
