  • Battle of Britain 80 Trail
    The Battle of Britain 2020 commemorates the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. The involvement of the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm in the Battle of Britain is relatively unknown and yet, despite its small numbers, had a significant impact on the battle. The Battle of Britain took place from July to October 1940. Having defeated France in the Spring of 1940, Germany began a campaign of air raids on Britain aiming to force a surrender or enabling a German invasion - Operation Sealion. The German air force, the Luftwaffe, targeted ports and ships, tried to destroy the RAF, aircraft factories and airfields, and then began bombing London in what become known as ‘The Blitz’. Did you know … Fighting between aircraft in the air is called a ‘dogfight’. During the Battle of Britain people on the ground could see the vapour trails from the fighting aircraft making patterns across the skies. Of the nearly 3,000 pilots who flew during the Battle of Britain, 57 were Fleet Air Arm (FAA) pilots. Some pilots flew with FAA Squadrons, whilst other FAA pilots completed RAF flying training and were assigned to RAF fighter Squadrons. Have a go … Guide the Spitfire through the maze safely home to the airfield. 33 FAA pilots served with 804 and 808 , the two Fleet Air Arm Squadrons officially classed as having taken an active part in the Battle of Britain. They operated under Fighter Command, providing Dockyard defence. 804 Naval Air Squadron, based at Hatston, consisted of 22 pilots flying Gloster Sea Gladiators (and later the Grumman Martlet).

    The ultimate WW I two- seat fi ghter was the Bristol F2b, here gloriously represented by The Vintage Aviator in New Zealand. (Photo by Luigino Caliaro) 26 fl ightjournal.com 2hole_killers_v2.indd 26 11/11/11 12:35 PM TWO-HOLE KILLERS THE TRADITION OF THE TWO-SEAT FIGHTER BY BARRETT TILLMAN FRANCE, OCTOBER 5, 1914. Sergeant Josef Frantz and mechanic Louis Quenaut were in a Voisin III biplane returning from a bombing mission along the Belgian border. En route home, they engaged a German Aviatik B observation plane over Johchery-sur-Vesle near Reims. The French crew immediately attacked, making at least two runs. From that point, accounts vary. Reportedly, Quenault’s pedestal-mounted Hotchkiss machine gun suffered a malfunction, prompting the German observer, 31-year- old Lt. Fritz von Zangen, to return fi re with a rifl e. Quenault then unlimbered his own rifl e and shot down Sgt. Wilhelm Schlicting and von Zangen. The Aviatik dived to earth, killing the crew in the fi rst recorded aerial victory. FEBRUARY 2012 27 2hole_killers_v2.indd 27 11/11/11 12:35 PM TWO-HOLE KILLERS IRAQ, FEBRUARY 14, 1991. In the 3:00 a.m. darkness, two 4th Fighter Wing F-15E Strike Eagles searched for Scud missiles near the Syrian border. However, Capt. Tim Bennett and his wingman learned of Iraqi helicopters airborne, and got permission from their controller to investigate. Bennett’s weapon systems operator, Capt. Daniel Bakke, illuminated the grounded enemy chopper (it looked like a Hind), and Bennett released his laser- guided bomb. As the LGB tracked to the target, the helo lifted off and Bennett doubted that the bomb would hit.
