Detailed explanation-1: -The British developed an air defence network that would give them a critical advantage in the Battle of Britain. The Dowding System – named for Fighter Command’s Commander-in-Chief Sir Hugh Dowding – brought together technology such as radar, ground defences and fighter aircraft into a unified system of defence.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Dowding System’s pioneering use of radar (which could warn the RAF of enemy attacks), aircraft and ground defense gave Great Britain a competitive advantage.
Detailed explanation-3: -The missile, powered by a liquid-propellant rocket engine, was developed during the Second World War in Nazi Germany as a “vengeance weapon” and assigned to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings of German cities.
Detailed explanation-4: -Who won the Battle of Britain? Although the Germans had more planes and pilots, the British were able to fight them off and win the battle. This was because they had the advantage of fighting over their own territory, they were defending their homeland, and they had radar.
