Britain had a number of defenses against bombers in WW2. A string of radar stations along the coast gave eary warning of an imminent attack, allowing fighter aircraft to be scrambled to defend. Day time fighters such as the Spitfire and Hurricane played a big part in this. At night radar-equipped nightfighters like the Bristol Beaufighter were used instead.

Bombers making it through this first line of defence encountered anti-aircraft guns (supplemented by high powered searchlights at night), and barrage balloons supporting steel cables at lower level.
