These Italian aircraft did participate in a few aerial attacks on England in the late summer of 1940.
What year did the battle of Britain begin between German and luftwaffe and royal air force?
In late summer 1940, Germany planned to invade Britain but had to have air superiority first. The Luftwaffe launched bombing raids against British airfields, mostly in southeast England, with the intention of putting the airfields out of action and destroying the aircraft on the ground. The British Royal Air Force shot down so many of the German planes that they considered the losses to be too high and abandoned plans for the invasion. If the Germans had been successful, Britain would have been occupied like most other European countries. The outcome of the battle was so important that it became known as the 'Battle of Britain'.

German fighter jets appear in large numbers by the fall of 1942?
The ME 262 Fighter Jet of the Nazi Luftwaffe was not put into use until the summer of 1944 and early part of 1945. It was a dismal failure for the Luftwaffe because the Allied Forces downed most of the jets that went against the USAAF and RAF planes. The jet was also too new a technology and plane for the Luftwaffe Pilots to learn to fly. The plane itself was not a very good jet because it was not long enough and did not have good flying capabilities. See the related link below for an interesting article on the ME 262 Jet.

What was the name given to the air battles fought between Germany and the British over England during World War 2?
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.
