I can't believe I am reading some of this stuff. The RAF victory in the Battle of Britain is because had the Luftwaffe succeeded the next phase was to be an invasion!

The RAF also caused massive damage to the LW but the main result was that by the end of the air battle the UK and it's Empire was still very much in the fight and the RAF was stronger than before.

At that point in time the UK and it's Empire was the only opposing force to German and it's allies. Had we lost and been invaded the USA would never have joined the war and Russia could very well have been defeated!
