The Battle of Britain: Fighter Operations Room

Summary of the events of the Battle of Britain and script for a conversation in a Fighter Command Operations Room during the Battle of Britain.

One of these documents provides a brief account of the Battle of Britain, focusing on different stages of the engagement. The other is a script which represents a conversation that could have taken place in a Fighter Command Operations Room during the campaign. Fighter Command was split into different groups, these groups being responsible for defending different areas of the country. Each group had their own operations room where they would chart the locations of enemy aircraft and decide which squadrons would be scrambled to engage with the enemy within their sector.
