sep 15, 1940 - Battle of Britain day

Description:

Hailed as 'Battle of Britain Day'. In this heavy day of fighting, Fighter Command shoots down 56 German aircraft. This costly raid convinces the German High Command that the Luftwaffe cannot achieve air supremacy over Britain, and the next day daylight attacks are replaced with night-time sorties as a concession of defeat.
