"Assault from the Air" is the title of Volume 10 in Winston S. Churchill's multi-volume history, The Second World War, covering the German air attacks, particularly the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, as Britain faced invasion threats after the fall of France.

This part of his memoir details the desperate air defense against the Luftwaffe, the strategic importance of the Royal Air Force (RAF), and Churchill's leadership in inspiring resistance against Nazi Germany's aerial assault in 1940-1941, a crucial moment for European freedom.

  • The Fall of France & Isolation (May-June 1940): Churchill describes the dire situation after France's collapse and Britain standing alone against Hitler.
  • The Battle of Britain (Summer 1940): This pivotal air campaign, where the RAF defended the skies, is a central focus, showcasing the fight for air superiority.
  • The Blitz (1940-1941): The sustained German bombing campaign targeting British cities and infrastructure, aiming to break morale, is detailed.
  • Churchill's Perspective: He recounts the political, military, and diplomatic challenges, his role in negotiating aid (like Lend-Lease), and his determination to resist.
  • Significance: Churchill portrays this period as a fight for civilization, where Britain's defiance against aerial attack was vital for the future of Europe. 
  • This volume captures Britain's fight for survival under relentless attack from the air, a testament to its people's courage and Churchill's inspiring leadership during one of the war's darkest hours.
