Battle of Britain
The Battle of Britain was arguably the most significant event of the Second World War. It raged from July to October 1940 and pitted a small group of international fighter pilots against a far larger Luftwaffe. Their victory gave hope to the people of Great Britain and preserved the freedom of other nations.
