The Battle of Britain is a famous battle where Germany tried to destroy England’s Air Force. The Germans made bomber attacks on British ships in the English Channel.

More than 500 pilots were killed and nearly 800 planes destroyed. After several months of attacks, the battle ended with Britain striking back and causing severe damage to the Germans.
