YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Battle of Britain: When Aces Ruled the Skies
What made a fighter pilot an ace in World War Two? Why did Nazi Germany switch from attacking RAF airfields to bombing British cities during the Battle of Britain? And when did the Polish and Czech pilots join the front line to turn the tide of the air war over Britain in 1940?
In part 4 of our Battle of Britain series, James Holland and Al Murray tell the story of the decisive aerial battles of summer 1940, the rise of the legendary aces, and the relentless defence that stopped the Nazi war machine.
This episode covers:
• How a pilot became an ace in the Battle of Britain
• Why Germany began bombing London and other British cities
• The role of Polish and Czech pilots in the RAF
• The shift from airfield attacks to the Blitz
