    This was a battle between America and the Britain and Germany Air Force, it was the first battle ever to be held only in the air, it took place in the United Kingdom, the Brits ended up winning. This happened because Hitler wanted to take control over Great Britian, however they turned out more strong than he thought, due to America lending them supplies, which started the Lend-lease movement.
