Lord Hugh Dowding, Air Chief Marshall of the Royal Air Force, Head of Fighter Command, First Baron of Bentley Priory, lived in the grip of unseen spirits. In thrall of the supernatural, he talked to the ghosts of his dead pilots, proclaimed that Hitler was defeated only by the personal intervention of God, and believed in the existence of faeries. How could it be that such a man should be put in charge of evaluating technical developments for the British air ministry? Yet it was he who brought the modern multi–gunned fighter into existence. And he insisted that his scientists investigate the mysterious invisible rays that would prove to be the salvation of Britain: radar.Dowding, who provided the organization and training that led to victory, has been all but ignored by U. S. biographers of Churchill and historians of the Battle of Britain. Yet his story is vital to tell, for its importance to the defense of Britain and the free world, and for the intriguing character study that emerges from his ongoing conflict with Churchill and the British government during the crisis years of the empire. Part military history, part science narrative, part biography; this an incredible story.

The book is readable and entertaining which is certainly helpful. But, The author seems to find interesting "facts" that leaves the inquisitive reader wondering, How does he know? There are intimate conversations that seem to be added out of nowhere as it suits the author's purpose, evidently. But those passages can be glossed over and the real facts are fascinating and certainly worth the effort of reading this other side of history. I was disappointed with the constant interjections of ridicule by the author whenever a character inserts a reference of God and the possibility of his intervention into the affairs of men. For example he points out that the Jews were particularly mistreated by their Creator without any reference to the rebellion of Israel at certain times in their history. He suggested that any suggestion of intervention in the evacuation of Dunkirk should be debunked because, God should have intervened to save more lives and he should have prevented Britain from getting into that predicament to begin with. This constant interjection of ridicule are unnecessary and frustrating but I suppose it is the author's privilege to believe what he wants. I do recommend the book.
