'The Battle For Britain' by Robert Taylor depicting combat between German
Luftwaffe Me109s, and British RAF Spitfires, over the port of Dover.
With the Battle of Britain in its early stages, on the morning of
Wednesday 10th July 1940, a convoy of slow-moving cargo ships heading
along the south coast came under attack from a formidable force of Dornier
Do17 bombers, escorted by five squadrons of fighters. RAF Fighter
Command scrambled several squadrons to meet the oncoming force in an
effort to protect the shi[s, and a massive dogfight involving more than a
hundred planes developed in the region of Dover. Ripping into
oncoming bombers, the RAF fighters attacked head-on - a hazardous tactic
requiring great courage, but highly effective in unnerving bomber crews,
causing the to swerve out of formation and abandon their target.
Head-on collisions were not uncommon. The great battle raged well
into the afternoon, and by evening the insurgents had been driven back to
their bases in France to lick their wounds. Only one direct hit was
scored by the enemy, when a 700 ton sloop was sunk. The Luftwaffe
lost nineteen aircraft, and although the RAF had seven aircraft damaged,
it lost only one pilot that day.
