| - The Battle of Britain was a continuous conflict during the Second World War when Nazi Germany attacked Great Britain with aircraft. Julian Bashir and Miles O'Brien had a holosuite program of the Battle of Britain in which they played British Royal Air Force spitfire pilots. (DS9 episodes: "Homefront", "Accession") O'Brien's knowledge of the time period of the Battle of Britain proved to be useful when he found himself in Normandy just before D-Day after temporal displacement. (DS9 novel: Trapped in Time)
- The 'Battle of Britain' scenario, is based off a Second World War turning point event, well, that is the Battle of Britain. In this Tutorial in the Learn to Play Menu of Rise of Nations, you are to enact to first actions of WWII, and provided that this will give you an expertise-like wisefulness around advanced gameplay. This is also the final Tutorial featured in the game.
- 1969 British movie, retelling the story of the Battle of Britain in 1940. Major attempt at accuracy, sourcing a massive number of real planes (100) and cost a lot of money to make. Has some inaccuracies, using Composite Characters and over-emphasising the Spitfire's role due to lack of available Hurricanes. A number of names are fictionalised. Has an All-Star Cast.
- The Battle of Britain was the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces, and was also the largest and most sustained aerial bombing campaign to that date. The failure of Germany to achieve its objectives of destroying Britain's air defences, or forcing Britain to negotiate an armistice or an outright surrender, is considered its first major defeat and one of the crucial turning points in the war.
- The Battle of Britain was the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces, and was also the largest and most sustained aerial bombing campaign to that date. The objective of the campaign was to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force (RAF), especially Fighter Command. From July 1940, coastal shipping convoys and shipping centres, such as Portsmouth, were the main targets; one month later the Luftwaffe shifted its attacks to RAF airfields and infrastructure. As the battle progressed the Luftwaffe also targeted aircraft factories and ground infrastructure. Eventually the Luftwaffe resorted to attacking areas of political significance and using terror bombing strategy.
- The Battle of Britain took place in 1940 when Britain and the USSR were the last remaining countries preventing Hitler from achieving his aims (the USA did not join the war until 1941). To defeat Britain, Hitler planned to control the air above Britain and the English Channel, to give protection to invasion forces. What followed was an attempt to destroy the RAF (British Royal Air Force) in August and September 1940.
- The Battle of Britain (German: Luftschlacht um England) is the name given to the sustained strategic effort by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) during the summer and autumn of 1940 to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force (RAF), especially Fighter Command. The name derives from a speech made on 18 June 1940 in the House of Commons by Prime Minister Winston Churchill. He said: "The Battle of France is over. I expect the Battle of Britain is about to begin..."[7]
- One of the major campaigns of the early part of World War II, the Battle of Britain is the name commonly given to the attempt by the German Luftwaffe to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force (RAF), before a planned sea and airborne invasion of Britain (Operation Sealion). Neither Hitler nor the German Wehrmacht believed it possible to carry out a successful amphibious assault on the British Isles until the Royal Air Force had been neutralised. Secondary objectives were to destroy aircraft production and ground infrastructure, as well as terrorising the British people with the intent of intimidating them into seeking an armistice or surrender and attacking areas of political interest.
- The Battle of Britain was an aerial conflict that occurred on Earth in 1940 and 1941 during World War II. It was fought between the forces of Old Britain and Nazi Germany. The Battle of Britain was one of Julian Bashir and Miles O'Brien's favorite holoprograms at Quark's holosuites, taking the role of two RAF pilots in a squadron that included Clive. The pair were intent on recreating the historical setting exactly, and had their own costumes. O'Brien even abandoned his Irish accent for his role. (DS9: "Homefront")
- The Battle of Britain was an aerial campaign of the German Luftwaffe against the British Royal Air Force. The Luftwaffe's mission was to cripple the Royal Air Force and set Britain up for an invasion, codenamed Operation Sealion. This battle is featured as a map for Battlefield 1942, included as a bonus in the version 1.45 patch. The map is a simplified version of the battle, with superior Luftwaffe forces facing the RAF.
