As we continue to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, we have the perfect guest for our Top Landing Gear ‘Battle of Britain Special’Full Flaps podcast. It’s aviation historian and BoB specialist Dilip Sarkar MBE.

Having been fascinated by the Second World War for a lifetime, Dilip Sarkar has been prolific in writing works focused on the Battle of Britain - particularly the human element of the stories. He has become one of the world's authorities on this moment of history. 

Having written over 40 books on the subject and being honoured with an MBE for services to Aviation History it was said by Battle of Britain fighter ‘ace’ Wg Cdr George Unwin DSO DFM, ‘If you want to know anything about the Battle of Britain and the Few, don’t ask us, ask Dilip!’
