RADAR Battle of Britain British relied on technology: Built a warning system that relied on visual observation, telephones and….. something new….. RADAR

Battle of Britain RADAR Helped the British spot the Luftwaffe Make a call to the nearest air base Allowed RAF pilots to conserve fuel Also allowed RAF to mass fighters to hopefully outnumber Luftwaffe

Battle of Britain Lessons learned: Battle of Britain was a defensive battle for RAF RAF built fighters Luftwaffe only had short/medium range bombers – no long- range strategic bombing capability

Battle of Britain Lessons learned: Without radar, RAF would not have been able to mass aircraft and fight Luftwaffe German’s lack of determination and persistence was key for Britain victory
