This is the story of those few, in their own words.\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 1940, the British frontlines were the skies above southern England. Spitfires and Hurricanes took on the might of the Luftwaffe, and its feared Messerschmitt fighters, dogfighting high above civilians watching on in awe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHitler was determined to invade Britain and close down the Western Front for good. But his plan  Operation Sea Lion  could not begin while the RAF could still harry an invasion fleet. It had to be broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to five times a day, the pilots of RAF Fighter Command scrambled to meet the inbound Luftwaffe. At one point, every available British fighter plane was airborne  Britain threw literally everything into the fight, and was tested to the very limits. Against all odds 'The Few', as they came to be known, bought Britain's freedom  many with their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThese are the personal accounts of the pilots who fought and survived that battle.
