CAF Warbird Tube - Battle of Britain: Inside the Fight for the Skies
September 9, 2026Join CAF Warbird Tube for a fascinating look inside one of the most consequential air campaigns in history: the Battle of Britain. Military aviation historian and author Andy Saunders joins us to explore the air war of 1940 from both sides of the English Channel. Saunders examines the aircraft, pilots, tactics, and rapidly changing conditions that shaped the battle. Attention turns to the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt Bf 109E. A formidable fighter, the "Emil" faced a challenge no amount of firepower or maneuverability could overcome: limited range. Saunders, the author of more than 20 books on air warfare and a longtime aviation historian, researcher, editor, and museum curator, brings the human experience behind the history into focus. What did the pilots face in the summer of 1940? How did tactics evolve as each side learned from the other? And what can accounts from those who were there tell us about a battle that has become the stuff of legend?
