This is an interesting article of the key points of the battle for those that are not familiar with this. In particular the article outlines the wonderful air defence network Britain had. Radar would act as the early detection of enemy aircraft formations, information on incoming raids was passed to Fighter Command Headquarters and once the direction of the raid was clearly established, the information was sent to the relevant Fighter Group’s headquarters and from there it was sent to the Sector Stations, which would ‘scramble’ fighters into action. The operations rooms also directed other elements of the defence network, including anti-aircraft guns, searchlights and barrage balloons.
We can get it right sometimes!
