At the end of May 1940, the British forces sent to defend France against the Germans were in complete disarray and pushed back to the beaches of HAUTS-de-France where their fate awaited them. Their salvation, an armada of small boats from England to rescue the 300,000 soldiers stuck with their backs to the sea. Their real salvation lies in the sky, with the Royal Air Force fighters covering the evacuation and protecting themselves against German air attacks. The British airmen were outnumbered but heroic as they wore their modified sheepskin hooded flight jackets, which protected them when they were shot down in the English Channel, sitting on their small rubber rafts waiting to be helped. Thus was born the Dunkirk RAF bomber inspired by the jackets worn by Royal Air Force pilots who carried out patrols over the English Channel.
