Operation Aerial : Churchill's second miracle of deliverance /David Worsfold.

"Operartion Aerial, Churchill's second miracle of deliverance, was an audacious plan to bring home the disparate units of the BEF that were cut off after the fall of Dunkrik in June 1940, toegther with thousands of British citizens who were also trapped in France as the Germans advanced. Amid these controversies and cover-ups are stories of incredible resourcefulness, simple courage and remarkable heroism. Nurses on board the hospital ships, the demolition teams that stayed, and the many ordinary soldiers and civilians who struggled through the chaos, confusion and disintegration of France to get back home so they could continue the battle against Hitler."--Provided by the publisher.
