Painting for 15 august

During the battle, these pilots were directed toward the bombers by the Sector Operations rooms working from Radar plots. When night fell, Germany had lost 76 aircraft to the British 34.

The British were willing to endure the long months remaining in the Battle of Britain, hopeful that they had survived the Third Reich’s mightiest blow. “Adlertag, 15 August 1940” focuses on Hurricanes as they scramble from a frontline airfield for their fourth “sortie”...
