CAMPAIGN DIARY:
August 15th, 1940. Biggin Hill.

Yes, it has begun in earnest.

All morning reports have been pouring in, telling us about attacks against our airfields: Hawkinge, Manston, Martlesham, Newcastle, Biggin Hill etc.

You remember what the Prime Minister said in that speech some two months ago?

"What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war."

There you have it.

MISSION
Ok, chaps. Listen up. A big enemy formation is moving towards Ramsgate. We don't know if it's bombers or fighters. But fearing another attack on the airfield at Manston, we can't wait until our Ground Observers can spot them.

Therefore we, and another squadron of Spits, are going against them.

Questions? Fine. Lets go!

HISTORIC  NOTES
Regarding the last mission: there was a lot of action in the air on August 15th. One of the most successful attacks was performed by the Do17's from KG3, which hit one airfield and an aircraft factory at Rochester. 

Losses to the bombers were low, due to the fact that the escort was strong, and that a fighter sweep by JG26 had distracted the defenders. The last mission tries to portray that portion of the battle, with RAF fighters running into the "Freie Jagd" of JG26.

The actual losses of the Luftwaffe on August 15 was 72 aircraft: the highest losses they suffered any single day during the Battle of Britan.
