Cull's usual high-quality research yields a surprise!,

This review is from: Twelve Days in May (Paperback)
I've read a number of works by Brian Cull, usually co-authored by Christopher Shores. I've come to expect books that exhibit good writing, rare photos, and meticulous research--research that often challenges popular conceptions of certain events."Twelve Days in May," co-authored by Bruce Lander and Heinrich Weiss, is an excellent micro-history of the air battles over the Low Countries at the beginning of the Blitzkrieg in the West. The big surprise for me: the effectiveness of the Bf-110 versus the Hurricane. Careful checking of the records seems to indicate that the much-maligned twin engined fighter held its own against the British Hurricane, and it helps me understand the success of the Bf-110 in Greece, North Africa, and Russia. Serious students of air campaigns in WWII should have this book (and all of those co-authored by Shores, Cull, Malizia, Ring, Izawa, and Hess) on their shelves. An added bonus: "Twelve Days in May" is cheap!
