List of RAF aircrew in the Battle of Britain (A–C) facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Battle of Britain was a huge air battle during World War II where the RAF defended the United Kingdom against attacks from the German air force, the Luftwaffe. This list includes the brave pilots and other aircrew who flew at least one official mission with the RAF or Fleet Air Arm between July 10 and October 31, 1940. These individuals were awarded the special Battle of Britain Clasp for their service. They are often called "The Few" because so few pilots fought in this critical battle.

Remembering "The Few"

After the Battle of Britain, in 1942, the Air Ministry decided to create a list of pilots who died during the fighting. This list was used for a national memorial, the Battle of Britain Chapel at Westminster Abbey. King George VI officially opened this chapel on July 10, 1947. The Roll of Honour inside the chapel lists 1,497 pilots and aircrew who were killed or badly wounded and later died during the battle.

It wasn't until November 9, 1960, that the official rules for who counted as a Battle of Britain airman were set. The Air Ministry published a document called AMO N850, which explained the requirements for receiving the Battle of Britain Star medal. It also listed the 71 RAF units that were part of RAF Fighter Command during the battle.

In 1955, a serving RAF officer named Flt Lt John Holloway took on a personal mission. He wanted to create a complete list of "The Few." After 14 years of hard work, he had a list of 2,946 names. Out of these airmen, 537 were killed during the battle or died later from their injuries.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, started by Geoffrey Page, raised money to build another memorial. This one is the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne near Folkestone in Kent. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother unveiled this memorial on July 9, 1993. Next to it is the Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall, where the names of all "The Few" are carved.

More recently, the Battle of Britain Monument was unveiled in London on September 18, 2005. It stands on the Victoria Embankment. The idea for this monument came from the Battle of Britain Historical Society, which also raised money for its construction. Bronze plaques cover the outside of the monument, listing all the Allied airmen who took part in the battle.
