I know all the credit goes to the Hurricane and Spitfire squadrons and the very brave pilots ...
Indeed, and little mention is ever made to the ten Blenheim squadrons which took part in the Battle, with their very brave pilots, navigators (observers) and air gunners. Also the five squadrons which operated the superb Beaufighter, and sundry other types such as the Defiant, Gladiator, Whirwind, Fulmar and Martlet, all of whose aircrew qualified for the "Battle of Britain" clasp. Not to mention the groundcrew of all types whose stalwart efforts kept these aircrew in the air.
