The FewThe Battle of Britain took place during World War II between Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Luftwaffe, Nazi Germany’s air force. From July 10 through October 31, 1940, pilots and support crews on both sides took to the skies and battled for control of airspace over Great Britain, Germany and the English Channel. It was the first battle in history fought solely in the air. The powerful, combat-experienced Luftwaffe hoped to conquer Britain easily, but the small RAF, later celebrated by Winston Churchill as "the few" proved a formidable enemy. - Darkest Hour
