Revell Battle of Britain 85th Anniversary Set

The legendary Battle of Britain marks a significant turning point in Germany's expansion efforts during World War II. In preparation for the invasion, the German Luftwaffe launched massive attacks on British cities and Royal Air Force airfields during the summer months of 1940. In contrast, only 700 Spitfires and Hurricanes, flown by young, inexperienced pilots, were available. The Eagle Day on August 13, 1940, marked the beginning of a series of major assaults primarily carried out by the Ju 88 and Ju 87. After suffering massive losses, the Luftwaffe ultimately ended its attack efforts in May 1941. The Hurricanes and Spitfires of Fighter Command emerged victorious.
