Battle of Britain (1940)

Not only was the "Battle of Britain" an incredible victory for the British people it was the first time a modern air defence system was used. Radar, spotters on the ground, the chain network, communication and fighter direction were all instrumental in defeating the best air force in the world. Of course the breaking of Enigma gave The RAF leadership a huge advantage. However, when it came down to it pilots shoot down the aircraft.
