On 10 July 1940, the skies above the English Channel witnessed the opening salvo of the Battle of Britain as Nazi forces launched a ferocious attack on British shipping convoys.
This marked the beginning of a crucial phase in World War II, where the Royal Air Force (RAF) faced the formidable Luftwaffe in a series of relentless aerial battles.
The German offensive aimed to cripple Britain's supply lines and pave the way for a full-scale invasion.
However, the bravery and tenacity of the RAF pilots, along with the resilience of the British people, would turn this conflict into a defining moment of resistance and determination.
