In the summer of 1940, Britain’s allies in Europe had been defeated, the country faced invasion and the hope of the nation rested on the wings of the RAF.

Aircraft factories across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland played a vital role – building over 15,000 military aircraft in 1940 alone. This constant supply of aircraft allowed RAF Fighter Command to replace its losses, and actually grow in strength, during the intense conflict of 1940. https://www.raf.mod.uk/our-organisation/our-history/anniversaries/battle-of-britain/ #DetectAndDefend | R
