Spitfires and hurricanes fly past to mark the Battle of Britain's hardest day
Tuesday marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain's 'Hardest Day'. During World War II, the date was named 'The Hardest Day' because it was the toughest air-fought battle in Britain thus far. Both sides suffered immeasurable losses, and by September, Hitler's forces had given up on trying to acquire the British airspace.
In Biggin Hill, over 20 aircrafts from the era did a flyby in classic formations, with over 3,000 spectators and special invitations for veterans of the battle 75 years ago. Take a look at the incredible images from the ceremony.
