Q1: What was the Battle of Britain?

[Answer]

The struggle between the German and British air forces became known as the Battle of Britain.

The Germans had four times as many aircraft as the British, but the British planes, like the Spitfire and Hurricane, were better and the RAF destroyed four German planes for every one they lost. Also when German planes were shot down the pilots were captured, but when British planes were shot down.
