The Battle of Britain

Here is a website about the battle of Britain:

It tells about the background of the battle of Britain. Germany invaded Poland by using tanks, troops, and aircrafts at the same time, which was called Blitzkrieg. Then he attacked France by the same way and won again. At that time, both British and German aircrafts suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, a bult of British reinforcement in France came back to Britain. Britain trained as many pilots as possible. In July 1940, Brtish air forces, RAF, grew into 600 fighters, but the Luftwaffe had 2600 bombers and fighters. It must be very hard for Britain to fight against Germany.

This is a brief picture of how the Sector Control Rooms of RAF control the fighters, anti-aircraft guns and balloon barrage. They sent the information of the incoming raids to the fighters and bombers and dispatched anti-aircraft guns and balloon barrage to protect the aircrafts.

Here is another website I found about the battle of Britain:

The Luftwaffe invaded Britain more and more inland. Germany wanted to bomb the cities which many civilians lived inside. Nonetheless, Germany was too urgent to destroy Britain, The interval between the fighters came escoting the bombers was too long. The bombers became fragile targets, and many of them were destroyed by that way. Finally, Germany decided to attack the Soviet Union rather than Britain. The RAF successfully protected Britain.
