The Battle of Britain Revisited

Abstract

The importance of air defence in the context of NATO is clear. This study examines a successful air defence campaign of the past to highlight those aspects which seem of particular relevance to the present day. The Battle of Britain is looked at from both the German and British sides and the causes of the victorious result for the defence are analysed. These factors are then related to the present, to point out both the strengths and weaknesses of current air defence systems.
