By the end of June 1940, Germany had defeated Britain's allies in mainland Europe. Germany’s next move was to conduct an air campaign against Britain. If successful, this plan would either drive Britain into peace talks or cripple its ability to resist a planned seaborne invasion - Operation Sealoin
The first phase of the campaign focused on attacking shipping coastal targets, relatively low risk missions so that the Luftwaffe could recoup its strength after the Battle of France. By August, it was ready to enter an intensified phase, targeting the Royal Air Force itself over southern England. Unternehmen Adlerangriff “Operation Eagle Attack” would see Luftwaffe bombers attacking RAF bases and radar installations while the Bf 109 fighters and Bf 110 destroyers engaged the British Spitfire and Hurricanes in the air.
Churchill had other plans, however - tenacious resistance. Utilizing a network of early warning radar sites and ground spotters, the British fighters could engage the Germans with localized strength.
This FSO will recreate the frantic air battles of the Battle of Britain in August 1940.
