what was the nature of AIR in the begining
Answers
Winston Churchill’s observation at the height of the Battle of Britain in September 1940 has become a part of folklore. World War II had been raging for a year. The British Expeditionary Force sent to Europe to foil German advance had been beaten back. France lay prostrate and Great Britain was staring into the abyss. Blocking the advance of the relentless German juggernaut stood the fighter pilots of the British Royal Air Force (RAF). Finally, Britain survived because the RAF stood its ground against all odds with grim determination. Britain has not forgotten. Nearly 70 years after the event, they still observe September 15 every year as the Battle of Britain Day to pay homage to ‘the few’. Most members of the royal family wear the RAF uniform as a badge of honour.
