Currently in the process of editing a new, extended two-part article on the making of the 1969 film 'Battle of Britain'. In the meantime, check out a short poem that I was inspired to write on the #BattleOfBritain during my final edits on #EagleDays:

Thrilled to receive these kind words from Professor Sebastian H. Lukasik of the
USAF Air Command & Staff College on #EagleDays! It was important to me that present-day air force personnel and airpower theorists also found the book informative. Thank you to everyone who has supported the book 😊

A pleasure to present a new project for IWM Duxford today - looking forward to sharing the final result in due course! 🎥 Also just had to take a picture with this Bf 109 E that is crumped just like the one on the front cover of #EagleDays... @headofzeus.bsky.social

"A scholarly work looking at the aspects covered in EAGLE DAYS needed to be written. It has been a very long time coming, but in this, her first book, Taylor has produced an absolute masterpiece." So unbelievably touched by
Andy Saunders' review of #EagleDays in History of War Magazine ♥️

"An extremely compelling book, very different to anything this reviewer has ever seen on the battle before...the author's assessments throughout are fair, balanced, thoroughly referenced and very well-argued." Delighted that #EagleDays is #AeroplaneMonthly Magazine's 'Book of the Month' ♥️ ✈️

"Comprehensive, multi-layered & filled with rich detail & contemporary eyewitness accounts, many translated into English for the first time. A riveting & timely read from one of our finest young historians." Lovely to see this #EagleDays review in the Daily Express/Daily Mirror!

Why did one Luftwaffe unit have a 'petting zoo' in the Battle of Britain? Fantastic @AviationXtended interview with @SpitfireFilly as she busts WW2 myths of Luftwaffe 'Knights of the Sky' in her new book #EagleDays #avgeek aviation-xtended.co.uk/ep-221-eagle...

Loved chatting with Chris Thompson on the Aces High Gallery podcast ahead of our #EagleDays event with Air Marshal 'Black' Robertson on 1 June! We delve into everything from how the RAF sized up vs the Luftwaffe, to how indecision dogged the Germans from the start:

#EagleDays has surpassed my wildest dreams. Such a thrill to work with @headofzeus.bsky.social in a truly collaborative team effort - thank you, all, for your kindness. Particularly thankful to @iainmacgregor1.bsky.social for suggesting the colourisation - it stands out so vividly in the bookshops!
