Background / Lore
The Battle of Britain marked the first major military campaign fought entirely in the air, as the Royal Air Force defended the UK against sustained attacks by the German Luftwaffe in 1940. Outnumbered but highly disciplined, RAF pilots relied on tactics, teamwork, and grit to hold the line. This game captures that tense back-and-forth struggle, where positioning and timing matter more than raw firepower.

About the Model / Components
The aircraft miniatures come fully assembled and pre-painted, scaled to work with the Wings of Glory flight system. Gameplay uses simultaneous maneuver selection, making turns fast while still rewarding planning and tactical thinking. The system is compatible with other Wings of Glory WWII products, allowing you to expand your collection with additional aircraft and scenarios.
