Eagle Day....,. was the
day chosen by Hermann Goring, Air Mar­
shal of Hitler's Luftwaffe, to launch a
crushing air attack which would annihi­
late the Royal Air Force and prepare the
way for Nazi Germany's invasion of Brit­
ain. With this abortive attack, the Battle
of Britain began, a battle in which a few
hundred men and airplanes ( many of
which were obsolete) struggled against
staggering odds, against fear, fatigue and
desperation, to turn the tide against Ger­
many. It was this battle which moved
Churchill _to say, "Never in the field of
human conflict has so much been owed
by so many to so few."
