Peter Brown joined the RAF in 1938 and was posted to 611 'West Lancashire' Squadron with Spitfires in 12 Group, initially at Duxford and then Digby. He was at readiness throughout the Battle of Britain, including with the controversial Duxford 'Big Wing' on 15 September, when the Luftwaffe's morale was broken and then in late September with 41 Squadron at Hornchurch where the fiercest fighting with the highest casualties took place. He was awarded the Air Force Cross for his service. Having flown in both 11 and 12 Groups during the Battle of Britain, his knowledge of the subject is second to none.
