I find it interesting that this was mostly an air battle, rather than the usual sea, land or combination of all 3. I am not sure how often that has happened before or since, or whether the Battle of Britain was the longest lasting battle in the air that there has been. Lots of other battles have involved air power in association with sea and land forces, but this battle seems to have been more about one air power vs another air power in a trial of strength and will.
Happy landings,
