After France's defeat in June 1940, the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Luftwaffe clashed in the summer and autumn of 1940 in the first all-air battle. The Battle of Britain was the prelude to the landing imagined by Hitler, Operation Seelöwe (Sea Lion). The last stronghold to the west was within reach of the German armies, but the brave British pilots resisted valiantly, aware of the consequences of defeat for their country and the free world.
