The History That Inspires The Game

None painted the picture of the Battle for Britain, known to most as the Blitz, one of the most astounding air battles of World War II - quite so vividly as Britain's dignified Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, a man whose character and achievements need no mention. He states:

What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over. 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. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'

Winston Churchill
Excerpt from House of Commons, June 18th 1940

World War II was the most intense period off aerial combat ever seen by man with over 400,000 combat aircraft operating at the same time during one period of war. It's time for you to join the most fierce air battle ever. It's time for World War II: Battle of Brtitain.
