10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Battle of Britain

The Battle of Britain ran from July to October 1940 and remains the only major air campaign in history fought entirely over a combatant's home territory, with the Luftwaffe flying from newly occupied French airfields just minutes from the English coast. RAF Fighter Command was outnumbered throughout, and by mid-September its pilot reserves were critically depleted — Dowding later estimated the command was within days of operational collapse when the Luftwaffe shifted focus to bombing London, inadvertently relieving pressure on the airfields.
