Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Britain

The first major campaign fought entirely in the air saw the Royal Air Force defend Britain against the German Luftwaffe's attempt to gain air superiority as a precursor to invasion. Despite being heavily outnumbered, RAF Fighter Command's Spitfires and Hurricanes, aided by radar and brilliant tactics, inflicted unsustainable losses on the Luftwaffe. Churchill immortalized the RAF pilots with his famous tribute. Hitler indefinitely postponed Operation Sea Lion, his planned invasion of Britain.

At the height of the Battle of Britain, RAF Fighter Command was so short of pilots that some flew multiple sorties per day and slept in their cockpits between missions. Churchill's 'so few' numbered only about 2,900 aircrew.
