The 78th anniversary of the Battle of Britain was marked on September 16, 2018, just outside the Vintage Wings of Canada hangar at the Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport in Québec. For many, the Battle of Britain is a brief history lesson vaguely remembered from high school. For those who served, it was a time of danger that changed their lives, and the world, forever.
