Many were volunteers from the British Empire and refugees and exiles from German-occupied Europe. Pilots from Poland, New Zealand, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Australia, South Africa, France, Ireland, United States of America, Southern Rhodesia, Jamaica, Barbados, Newfoundland and Northern Rhodesia fought alongside British Pilots to defend Britain against the Luftwaffe in the end of June 1940. It is described as the first major campaign fought entirely by air forces. ================================== Sabaton is a registered and protected trademark.
