Veterans' Week November 5 to 11 is Veterans' Week in Canada, a time when Canadians pay tribute to the courage and sacrifice of more than 1.5 million veterans who have served our country during wartime and in peacekeeping operations. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a critical phase of the Second World War which created created the conditions of Great Britain's survival and the , eventual defeat of Nazi Germany. After the fall of France In 1940, . Britain with its Dominions, including Canada, stood alone against Hitler's invading armies. But before Hitler could carry out his planned invasion of Britain, termed Operation Sea Lion, he would have to knock the Royal Air Force (RAF) from the skies. Between July and September 1940, the German air force - (.he Luftwaffe - directed a series of bombing raids against England. This period ' became known as the Battle of Britain. Initially, attacks were directed at British shipping, shipping, but on August 12, 1940, the Luftwaffe began attacking over land, bombing radar stations and airfields, and engaging British fighters in an attempt to gain air supremacy. Many Canadians served in the air squadrons which repulsed the Luftwaffe in the summer of 1940. Tfa Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) received its baptism of fire when No. 1 Fighter Squadron RCAF became the first Canadian air force unit to engage enemy planes In battle battle on August 26, 1940. The squadron met a formation of German bombers over Southern England, downing three enemy planes and damaging another four, losing losing one pilot and one plane. By mid-October, No. 1 Squadron had destroyed 31 enemy aircraft and damaged 43 more.. It had lost 16 Hurricane planes and three Canadian pilots had been killed. On August 30, nine planes from No. 242 (Canadian) Squadron of the RAF met one hundred enemy aircraft over Essex. Attacking from above, the squadron claimed 12 downed enemy planes and managed to escape unscathed. The RCAF also Fred Devries Proprietor FRED'S AUTOBODY LTD.

With Ms invasion plans in ruin, Hitler began what is known as the Blitz, an aerial bombardment of London, and other major cities ; that was then without precedent. However, this only strengthened strengthened the determination of the British people and by the spring of 1941, the attacks had subsided. Despite these victories. It would be another four years of intense fighting before world peace was restored. During Veteran's Week 2000, Canadians have an opportunity to honour Canadian veterans and peacekeepers and celebrate Canada's Legacy of Peace.
