Did you know the Battle of Britain was the first major military campaign fought entirely in the air?
In the summer of 1940, Adolf Hitler and his henchman, Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Hermann Göring, began their attempt to clear the skies over England to invade Great Britain. Despite very long odds, the Royal Air Force stood its ground, prevented the German invasion, and helped turn the tide of WWII.
The valiant stand of the RAF fighter pilots (known today as "The Few" because of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's famous speech) not only saved England from Hitler but also motivated and inspired the people and leadership of the United States, which sent increasing amounts of weapons and supplies to the United Kingdom.
