Friends of the Museum present the 2024 Speaker Series: The Battle of Britain: Canadian Airmen in Their Finest Hour, featuring guest speaker, author Ted Barris.

For 113 terrifying days in 1940, Nazi Germany’s air force threw everything it had at Great Britain in hopes of an early victory in the Second World War. The task of defending southern England from airborne attack fell to pilots in the Royal Air Force, supplemented by more than 100 flyers from Canada. Popular military historian Ted Barris tells the riveting story of their crucial role in this do-or-die battle. Battle of Britain: Canadian Airman in their Finest Hour is a must for enthusiasts of military and aviation history.
