In the summer of 1940, Nazi Germany launched a massive air assault on Britain, hoping to destroy its air force and pave the way for an invasion. But the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) of the Royal Navy fought back with courage and skill, using radar, command and control, and superior aircraft to repel the Luftwaffe. This is the story of how Britain stood alone and defeated Hitler’s air force in the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces. It is the story of how Britain’s finest hour changed the course of World War 2.
