Derbyshire witnessed nothing of the aerial Battle of Britain as defined by historians. All that is supposed to have taken place within the boundaries of 10,11 and 12 Group. There must have been many a pilot who was peeved not to receive the Battle of Britain Bar because his claim fell outside those Groups even though such victories were earned during that period!
