Can someone recommend a good book on the Battle of Britain?
Specifically, what I'm interested in are the opportunities the Germans
had to win (i.e. attacking British fighter bases - which was stopped to
bomb cities). Something written by a German might be nice as I've read
many books which were written by Brits - the tone of these is usually
- `` The brave lads flying Spitfires and Hurricanes (both superior to
     any planes the huns had) were so good as to make the outcome
     sure'' :) 
Almost as though the British wanted an appearance of danger so that
movies made about the battle would be better. Thanks in advance.
