The Battle of Britain: The Myth and the RealityThe battle of Britain pitted the Hurricanes and Spitfires of the Royal Air Force against the Messerschmitts of Hitler's Luftwaffe in the skies over England in 1940. It was immortalized in Churchill's words, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few," but it has since been debunked by revisionists as an inconclusive and even strategically flawed encounter for the British.

The battle of Britain pitted the Hurricanes and Spitfires of the Royal Air Force against the Messerschmitts of Hitler's Luftwaffe in the skies over England in 1940. It was immortalized in Churchill's words, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few," but it has since been debunked by revisionists as an inconclusive and even strategically flawed encounter for the British. In this assessment of the battle, Richard Overy restores the historical balance. He delivers shrewd judgments on the critical elements for both sides, from strategy to leadership, command organization, communications, and training to the technology of fighters, bombers, and radar. Overy shows that even if the popular myth overshoots the mark, the significance of the battle remains undiminished in the light of realistic judgments. A necessary battle, it marked the end of Germany's string of victories, forestalled a German invasion, and kept Britain in the war.Binding Type: Paperback

Best and most durable toy for our German shepherd
Size: Medium, Style: Ultra Tug, Size: Medium, Style: Ultra Tug
We have a German shepherd. This is our 2nd purchase. The first one was her first and favorite toy.
We still have the first one. But the strap broke (after a year) bc we didn't realize she hid it under blanket, and she chewed it in half. But after a year of hard play, the strap was worn out. She still plays with her ball, and often carries it with her on her walks.
It throws well and I love not having to pick up a slobbery ball. The ball is soft, durable, safe, and easy to play with.

Cord is not durable. Not for unsupervised play.
Size: Medium, Style: Ultra Duo Tug
My dog loves this toy and chewed through the tether in about 15 minutes, making it pretty useless as a tug toy. So the cord is not durable as stated. This is not for dogs who love to chew. Also, it is a bit smaller, much more squishy and chewable than a tennis ball, and I was worried she would chew it apart and that it might get stuck in her throat without the tether, so I took it away, much to her disappointment.

Puppy's favourite, but not built to last.
My puppy absolutely adores this tug-of-war ball! However, I have to mention the durability—it started fraying after just a few days of use. While it’s still usable, the material doesn’t hold up well to enthusiastic chewing and tugging. If your pup is a strong chewer, this might not last long.
That said, for the price and the joy it brings my puppy, I’d still consider buying it again—just with the expectation that it’s more of a short-term toy. Great for light play, but not built for heavy-duty tug sessions.
