This probably refers to the 'battle of Britain' in 1940.
The Battle of Britain was the attack by the Luftwaffe in the summer of 1940 on the fighter aircraft defenses of Britain. Slowly but surely the Germans were winning this fight by attacking the sector airfields. Fortunately the Germans then changed to bombing cities, principally London, though Coventry Plymouth & Liverpool also suffered grieviously as did other towns & cities. This, in London particularly, was known as the Blitz. This lasted to the summer of 1941 when the Luftwaffe turned toward Russia. Another major series of air attacks was in 1944 with the attack by the V1 Doodlebug flying bombs launched from occupied France. These were able to be intercepted by aircraft & deflected. Subsequent V2 rockets were not interceptable.
