NOVEMBER 1999 - ISSUE NUMBER ONE
98 pages
The very first issue that was very well accepted. Twenty-seven articles and profiles gave us the foundation as to how an annual magazine could be put together. Some were short and brief, others were educational and informative but members and non-members alike had nothing but praise for the new concept and reaction to future issues being published was nothing but positive.
SEPTEMBER 2000 - ISSUE NUMBER TWO
98 pages
The second issue was again very well received, with the publication hitting the bookstores in time for the 60th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Containing twenty-six informative articles and profiles many of which were a little more in-depth than those of the first issue.
OCTOBER 2001 - ISSUE NUMBER THREE
96 pages
This third issue of BATTLE OF BRITAIN REMEMBERED improved greatly over previous issues, maybe because of the number of more lengthy stories and articles, maybe because of the newly designed cover or maybe the small price increase!! who knows? We saw for the first time a number of new contributors who provided us with some wonderful accounts that kept our eyes glued to the pages. The response was terrific, letters in the Society "Scramble" and emails confirmed the satisfaction of the readers that this was the best BATTLE OF BRITAIN REMEMBERED yet.
OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2004 - ISSUE NUMBER FOUR
248 pages
Yes there was a long delay between issues three and four, but it was well worth the wait. I was to become one of the best selling issues ever with positive reports coming from worldwide. Heinz Knoke was a Luftwaffe pilot flying Me109s during the Battle of Britain and he told his story in I FLEW FOR THE FUHRER. Blenheims are often overlooked when it comes to the Battle of Britain, but in MY BATTLE OF BRITAIN Albert Gregory tells his story and why he transferred from Defiants to Blenheim's in this most interesting account. The Spitfire, synonymous with the Battle of Britain was born at Castle Bromwich and in SPITFIRES TO S-TYPES you will read about the building of this great fighter, other aircraft such as the Avro Lancaster and how they gave way to the four wheeled trojans of the road. Other great articles are THE DUNDAS PAPERS a lengthy article on Sir Hugh "Cocky" Dundas DSO DFC, SOUTH AFRICAN AIR ACES This is an account, complete with a listing of South African air aces delightfully written by Doug Tidy make this a very interesting and informative read. Plus many more.
Yes, we said it in 2001 that Issue Three was the best issue yet, but things just keep getting better and better. For 2006 we present a very special edition of our acclaimed
BATTLE OF BRITAIN REMEMBERED magazine that is now out and is currently available direct from Bill Bond at Society HQ. Previewed by a number of authorities who are very well known in Battle of Britain circles, they have nothing but acclaim for the latest edition of this magazine that has always been in heavy demand right from when BofB REMEMBERED first went into print. If you have not got your copy yet, then do not miss out as demand has reduced supplies immensly.
