It's interesting to see that such low level attacks took place.

"The hardest day" is a must to read. It's only 100 pages long and tell every major events during one single day in the BoB campaign. It has stunning documentation and pictures (like this one).

The KG76 low level attack on Kenley has always fascinated me. Must have been a site to see, low level Do17's hedge hopping over Kent. If it was flyable in CoD I doubt I would fly anything else.

Agree completely. Recommended.

There is a sequence of photos in the book taken from one of the Dorniers - you see them approaching the English coast flying just feet above the sea, then heading inland, one photo shows people running in panic in a town, then the famous photo at Kenley.
