The Battle of Britain was a crucial World War II conflict between the British Roy-al Air Force (RAF) and the German Luftwaffe. It took place from July to October 1940, following the fall of France. The Luftwaffe aimed to gain air superiority over Britain to pave the way for a potential invasion. Despite relentless bombing raids targeting airfields, factories, and cities, the RAF successfully defended the skies. This victory not only prevented a German invasion but also marked a turning point in the war, boosting Allied morale and proving that Hitler’s forces could be defeated.
