Kershaw explores in detail the story of 10 young Americans who joined British Air Forces, violating the Neutrality Act in order to fight side by side with England's finest pilots in the summer of 1940, just before the US entered WWII. Of those who fought in the Battle of Britain, Winston Churchill said, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
