(Capt Andréa Fortier) From June to October 1940, the first large-scale air battle raged in the skies over Great Britain and the English Channel. The Royal Canadian Air Force played a key role in the success of this historic event, which shaped the future of the organization.
To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the Royal Canadian Air Force invites you to watch this year’s ceremony at the Beechwood National Military Cemetery, on the RCAF Facebook page.
The event takes place on Sunday, September 20, 2020 at 10:30 EDT. Weather permitting, there will be a fly-past of Second World War aircraft. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, this ceremony will not be open to members of the Defence Team or the public.
