Battle of Britain (involvement of RCAF)

The Battle of Britain was a crucial World War II aerial campaign in 1940 where the German Luftwaffe aimed to gain air superiority over the UK. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) played an important role by providing trained pilots, aircraft, and support to the Royal Air Force (RAF). Canadian airmen flew combat missions, helped intercept German bombers, and contributed significantly to defending Britain from invasion. Their efforts demonstrated Canada's vital contribution to the Allied war effort, strengthening the overall air defense during this pivotal aerial conflict.
