There have been many battles fought in Britain you may mean the Battle of Britain if you are refering to WW2.
It wasn't. The Battle of Britain was just one of many battles fought during World War II.
It's virtually impossible to answer that exactly without a huge amount of research. However in mid -September Spitfires were being delivered at the rate of about 4-5 a day. They were by then being shot down about 1-2 a day. There were 20 operational Spitfire squadrons then each having 12-16 aircraft, so this gives an estimated figure of between 280 - 320 Spitfires at the end of Battle of Britain.
I'm not sure of the exact number left; I know there might be a few left in America, but most of them are in museums in England. The Imperial war museum in England has a few flying examples. Addendum: The BBMF (Battle of Britain Memorial Flight) based at RAF Coningsby flies a number of Spitfires (one of which was actually in the Battle of Britain).
Britain had 113 frontline aircraft at the outbreak of WW1.
Britain made 20,351 spitfires.

During WW2 many German pilots destroyed Spitfires. During Battle of Britain,many pilots were flung straight into battle having only flown 40 hours, often only 10 of those in Spitfires.

The only aircraft that fought in Battle of Britain were British aircraft in RAF and German aircraft in Luftwaffe. The Italians had no part in the blitz or in the Battle of Britain.The only aircraft that fought in Battle of Britain were British aircraft in RAF and German aircraft in Luftwaffe

Yes, many Czech pilots fought in RAF squadrons in the Battle of Britain and even in one almost completely Czech squadron. There were also Polish, Free French, Canadian, Australian , New Zealand South African and American pilots.Yes, many Czech pilots fought in RAF squadrons in the Battle of Britain and even in one almost completely Czech squadron.
113 Days Which is... 16 weeks and 1 day
This a rather hard question to answer. German civilians were not involved in the Battle of Britain (or at least not directly - they did contribute by manufacturing German aircraft in factories). The Battle of Britain was fought entirely over England itself and was an air battle. It was an attempt by Germany to destroy the RAF by bombing airfields out of existence.
There are Spitfires in many museums around the US. There are also many flying Spitfires . -Google "surviving Spitfires" and see the list.
