Coastal Command in the Battle of Britain

The first of two RAF themed shows today. For this we are joined by Naval Historian and author Matthew Willis from https://navalairhistory.com/ Battles at Sea and Naval History on WW2TV    • Battles at Sea and Naval History   The Battle of Britain involved more than just RAF fighters against the Luftwaffe, whatever it might say on the official Battle Honour. Many aircrew members from non-fighter squadrons took part in the wider fight against the threat of invasion and the assault on Fighter Command from July through October 1940. Often in the thick of that fighting was 16 Group, RAF Coastal Command. German aims in the Battle of Britain in July were to win air superiority over the English Channel and potential landing sites on the south coast, to create a credible threat of invasion in the hope of driving the UK to withdraw from the war. RAF Coastal Command’s role in countering the threat was considerable, and it was 16 Group that bore the brunt. The group’s area of operations included most of the English Channel and the southern part of the North Sea, including the coastline of northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands and Denmark. Effectively it contained a large part of the airspace in which the battle took place, and the ports where any invasion effort would assemble.
