Armchair General has partnered with The Map as History, a company that produces outstanding animated maps with accompanying narration. Each month, a link to one of their animated maps will be featured on the ACG site.
This month’s map explores the Battle of Britain and "the Blitz," Adolf Hitler’s air war 1940–41 that was intended to bring Britain to its knees. Winston Churchill praised the badly outnumbered Royal Air Force pilots, saying, "Never was so much owed to so few by so many."
