No, the Battle of Britain was an attempt by the German Luftwaffe to gain air superiority over southern England as one of several preconditions for a possible German invasion. The British RAF successfully defended the skies over England. The Germans did not attempt the invasion for that reason plus several others.
The Battle of Britain occured from 9 July to 31 October 1940 as per the British historians, or from mid-August 1940 to the end of May 1941 as per German historians.
