Royal Air Force Fighter Command

Royal Air Force Fighter Command was a key branch of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) established to coordinate aerial defense, particularly during World War II. Its primary mission was to protect the UK from enemy aircraft through the deployment and management of fighter squadrons. Fighter Command played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain, where it successfully defended against German attacks. It focused on training pilots, maintaining aircraft readiness, and implementing strategic air defense tactics. Although its structure evolved over time, Fighter Command remains a significant part of British military history and air defense strategy.
