First Victories in the Battle of BritainThe first fighter actions of the Battle of Britain took place over southeastern England during the late summer of 1940. On July 4th, in a series of isolated fights, one Hurricane and two Spitfires were shot down by Bf109's. A similar scenario was repeated three days later. The Bf109E's of JG51 shot down five Spitfires of No. 64 and 65 squadrons of the RAF, for no own losses. This was a promising start for the Luftwaffe, in a campaign that would prove to be their most bitter loss so far.
Hurricane 1's and Spitfire 1's vs. 110c's and 109e's?? WHAT'S not to like! Sounds like the makings of a GREAT SnapShot tonight. All are strongly encouraged to attend.
