Pilots!
This week, we are looking back at the Battle of Dunkirk, which took place from the 26th of May until the 4th of June in 1940. During the Battle of France, large numbers of Allied troops were cut off and surrounded by the German army. An evacuation named Operation Dynamo was decided upon in order to save these troops.
The German Luftwaffe was tasked with destroying the Allied forces in the area and managed to inflict heavy damage. During the evacuation from the beaches of Dunkirk, more than 100 ships were sunk by aerial attacks. Had it not been for the brave defence by the RAF, who flew around 3,500 sorties in support of Operation Dynamo, losses would have been much heavier and the war might have gone very differently on the Western Front.
Now, 77 years later, it is time for you to warm up your engines and take to the skies!

177 planes of the RAF and 132 of the Luftwaffe were shot down during the Battle of Dunkirk. We thought we would make it a little easier for you to get fresh reinforcements than it would have been back then.
