Situation Report
What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over, the Battle of Britain is about to begin – Winston Churchill 1940.
It's July 1940 and England is alone with the might of the German army and airforce expected across the channel any day, the only thing that stands between the Germans and the British people is the RAF. Hopelessly outnumbered they must fight for the survival of their homeland in one of the most crucial battles of WWII.
