THE RCAF PILOTS OF THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN
More than one hundred Canaians flew in the Battle of Britain between July and October 1840 and 23 lost their lives; an unknown number also served as groundcrew. Historians have described the Battle, which involved almost 3000 allied airman, as a turning point of the Second World War. The victory, described by Sir Winston Churchill as Britain’s “Finest Hour” halted a planned invasion of Great Britain and gave hope to a demoralized Britain and Northern Europe. It was the first battle to be won by air power.
