Episode 20 - Bomber Command in the Battle of Britain Part 1

Never Mind The Dambusters

At last! We finally got around to talking about Bomber Command's often overlooked role in the Battle of Britain. In the first of two episodes on this topic, we chat about the run up to the Battle, and highlight the significant contribution of Bomber Command, particularly in attacking Luftwaffe airfields and attacking the Kriegsmarine. The conversation covers early operations, the impact of the Norway campaign, and the heavy losses faced by Bomber Command during the Battle of France. We focus on the evolving nature of Bomber Command and its critical role in the broader context of WWII air warfare. Part 2 follows next week.
