Battle of Britain
Continued from page 4,
their share in the victory. special mention must. be made of thesradlo location (or radar) stations dotted along the English coast. The early warning wlilcli they gave of the approach of raiders made it possible for our l"-shter squadrons to take off in time to intercept the enemy. Fighter Command was able to conserve its strength until needed and then, forewarned by radar, deliver the maximum effort at the right place and time. Without radar the Battle of Britain might well have had a different ending. Supplementing the chain of radar stations was the network of Ob- server Corps Posts which plotted enemy formations as they penet- rnted inland. Tngetlier radar and the Observer Corps constituted a vital factor in the air defence of Britain and contributed immeas- urably to the v.lCt(.)ry'of the R..A.F.

The spectacular victories won by Fighter Command have tended to over-shadow the fact that the other commands of the Royal A Force were also engaged in th Battle. While Fighter Command was defending Britain, Bomber and Coastal Commands were car- rylng the battle to the enemy and by their assault on Nazi-held ports and harbours, on aircraft -factories and other war industries helped to defeat Hitler's plan of invasion.
one final u mment. It has been called the Battle of Britain. More accurately it was a. Battle for Britain (and freedom) in" which the people of that island were as- sisted by the other parts of the commonwealth and Empire and by contingents from conquered lands of Europe. In the ranks of the Royal Air Force were to be found tighter pilots from Canada and south Africa, coastal crews from Australia, bomber crews from New Zealand. and men from many other branches of Bi-ltainls great family. From Czechoslovakia and Poland, from Norway and the Netherlands, from Belgium and France came more trained aircrew to don the blue of the R.A.F. and trike their part in the Battle, They too were numbered among the few.
0 C C No. 1 (Fighter) Squadron, R.C.A.F.
Canada was represented in the Battle of Britain by several hun- dred officers and airmen who serv- ed as aircrew and ground crew in Fighter, Bomber and CoastalCom- mands. The names of forty-seven are inscribed on the honour roll in the memorial chapel in West- minster Abbey. The great major- ity of these Canadians who fought in the Battle of Britain were young men who had crossed the Atlantic in pre-war days to enrol in the R.A. F. and served in units of that Force.
There were, however, two tighter squadrons which bore the name Canadian. One was No. 242 (Can- adian) squadron of the R. A. F.. composed of Canadian lighter pilots in the R. A. F., the other was No. 1 (Fighter) Squadron of the R.C.A.F. (later designated No. 401) which had arrived in Britain
,on the eve of the Battle. Air Chief
Marshal Sir Hugh C. T. Dowding, G.C.B., G.C.V.0., C.M.G., who was Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, in his despatch paid tribute to the two Canadian squadrons. No. 242, he wrote, ”be- came one of the foremost lighting squadrons in the Command...No. 1f(Canadlan) Squadron also came into the line and acquitted itself with great distinction."
No complete figures are avail- able for Canadian participation in the Battle, but taking the ratio of casualties as an indication it would appear that approximately three out of every hundred aircrew were
in defending the island's vital targets and in bringing about the defeat of the Luftwaffe. Nor should it be forgotten that the worker in the factory, the clerk in his office, the housewife in her kitchen, all the humble men and women who endured the storm of bomb and fire. they too "stood in the breach" and helped to keep "the way open to man's vast fu-
