The Battle can be roughly divided into four phases:
10 July – 11 August: Kanalkampf, ("the Channel battles").
12 August – 23 August: Adlerangriff ("Eagle Attack"), the early assault against the coastal airfields.
24 August – 6 September: the Luftwaffe targets the airfields. The critical phase of the battle.
7 September onwards: the day attacks switch to British towns and cities.
