Next video: The Forgotten Men of the Battle of Britain
Added 2018-09-24 21:13:29 +0000 UTCHey all,
This week's release will be about the 'forgotten' men of the Battle of Britain. In popular memory, three kinds of pilots are remembered as part of this clash between the Luftwaffe and RAF: LW Bomber pilots, LW fighter pilots and RAF fighter pilots.
Remembered largely as a defensive battle, this makes sense. However, during the Battle of Britain, RAF Bomber Command lost MORE men than Fighter Command. They too, alongside RAF Coastal Command,played a role in the battle, albeit one (with perhaps the exception of the raid on Berlin) that is large forgotten. So this Thursday, we will remedy that.

P. S. I am fully aware of the irony of using a Hurri for this banner of this update, but it's never wrong to also highlight that birds role :)
