It is more than sixty years since the Battle of Britain raged in the skies over southern England during the summer and autumn of 1940. But for those who fought the battle and eventually thwarted the Luftwaffe's attempt to gain air supremacy over Britain, the memories remain. The Imperial War Museum Sound Archive has been interviewing veterans of the Battle of Britain for the past twenty-five years. The collection contains more than 120 interviews with, not only pilots, but also men and women involved in vital work on the ground. This page, however, will concentrate on the reminiscences of the pilots themselves.
