"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." —Winston Churchill

The victory of the Battle of Britain ranks with Marathon and the Marne as a decisive point in history. At the end of June 1940, with Western Europe overrun by the Germans, the Nazi war leaders knew that RAF Fighter Command had to be subdued before the invasion of Britain could take place. They set about this destruction early in July. High above the summer fields, Churchill's few fought with unsurpassed courage and skill. The battle was a national crusade that united the British people and was followed with awe and deep anxiety by the Western world.
