Why did Britain win the Battle of Britain?

Answer 1

The Battle of Britain was an air battle that took place over many weeks in the summer of 1940 and was won entirely by the British. In fact, the US did not even enter the war for another year - and might not even have entered it then if the Japs had not bombed Pearl Harbor.

Another Answer:

Everyone expected the British to surrender like practically every other European nation but Churchill refused a surrender and his speech is probably the most famous speech and i agree if the Japanese hadn't bombed pearl harbour the Americans would of hid i say hid because in those times the Americans were weak "they have awoken a monster than will never sleep" i think that was a British author that said that the Americans used to rely on other nations to fight its battles but due to the world war it realised it wasn't getting any help the British were out numbered 3 to 1 but are fighters were faster and the RAF pilots have always been the elites Hitler should of realised the British are not to be messed with many nations have tried and none have succeeded. and yes it was a war but what the Americans did to Japan was heartless they weren't military bases and America outnumber japan massively the true enemies in ww2 were the Americans not even Hitler condoned killing innocence's (except Jew's) he at the start he wouldn't bomb any civilian places in till a stray bomb fell on a British town and Churchill ordered Germany to be flattened.

Actually, German and British aircraft were evenly matched, and the Germans flew a formation that was tactically flexible and superior. Britain won because the Germans had limited time over target, fighting at the end of their flight radius, while the British engaged with practically full fuel tanks, and the British could recover their downed pilots and put them in replacement aircraft. Downed Germans became Prisoners of War. Radar allowed the British to anticipate Nazi movements, and engage them with local superiority. Seeing that the air battle was not producing an easy decisive victory, Hitler turned his attention to his invasion of Russia.

Answer 2

Britain won - because the Spitfire planes the RAF used - were more manoeuvrable in the air than the German Messerschmitts This meant the Spitfires could turn quicker in the air, giving them the advantage.
