Germany's devastating campaign to gain air superiority over the RAF and the British isle was the first such battle to be fought entirely in the air and was also the largest and most sustained aerial bombing campaign to that date. HISTORY presents a new perspective of this pivotal battle using recently unearthed reconnaissance photos, unique archive film, re-enactments and extraordinary interviews with the men who where there. THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN focuses on the tactics used by the Luftwaffe in their attempts to gain control, and those of the RAF in their gallant defence - of not only their home, but also the fate of the free world.
