It was significant as the first defeat of Germany in WW2. There was a time in this that the Germans were winning, and winning significantly. Had the Luftwaffe persevered and pushed the RAF much further north then it may have been possible for the invasion, Sealion, to have been practicable. The change to strategic night bombing of London & elsewhere, the Blitz, was a grave error. The fact was the Engish Channel was the lifeline which kept Britain free from invasion. But I'm thinking the Luftwaffe was far better prepared for WW2 than the RAF, especially in 1940. Yes, both the Spitfire & Hurricane were great aircraft, but the German bombers were numerous and for their time were effective in bringing great destruction. Had the attacks on the airfields been maintained & the RAF forced north of, say, Watford, because of destructon of runways & facilities.....not to mention depredation of the fighters, then the result might have been different in time.
