The Battle of Britain took place between July and October 1940 in the skies over southern England. A defensive campaign, it prevented Germany from gaining air superiority prior to a planned invasion of Great Britain.

Eventually, the Luftwaffe was defeated by RAF Fighter Command, forcing the attack to be abandoned. This bullion bar honours this important military campaign, the pilots and support network that secured victory.
