The Battle of Britain and the role of the Messerschmitt 110
Saturday 25th October 2014
Researching Moderrn History: - The Battle of Britain and the role of the Messerschmitt 110, by John Vasco. A talk at the Assembly House Norwich starting at 14.30.
John Vasco has undertaken research into the Luftwaffe since 1980, the results of which have been 8 books, primarily on the subject of the Messerschmitt 110 and the units that flew it. John’s primary research has been centred on the Battle of Britain period, when the south of England came under ferocious attack from the German air force – airfields, factories and the civilian population all suffering from these attacks. This was the first time the battlefield that had been England over the centuries witnessed a major assault from a new dimension: the sky.
In covering that period, John’s talk will cover the various aspects that go into the research required that ultimately results in the books we see on the bookshelves. The term ‘modern history’ is particularly apposite, as he was able to contact and receive information from participants from both sides of the Battle of Britain conflict, and with regard to the German side, travelled to Germany to interview many of the former Luftwaffe veterans. Copies of documents and photographs will supplement the talk. As well as his interest in world war 2 aviation, John has been a member of the Richard III Society since the early 1980’s.
