This fine silver coin commemorates Canada's role in the Battle of Britain, which would prove to be one of the turning points of the Second World War. By the summer of 1940, much of continental Europe was occupied by Nazi Germany. Despite being outnumbered nearly 2 to 1, the Royal Air Force (RAF) utilized a network of radar stations and eliminated the possibility of any sneak attacks, which allowed for airborn fighter squadrons of Hurricanes and Spitfires to scramble and intercept the enemy. On October 31, 1940, the Battle of Britain came to a close.
