The Hardest Day was a Second World War air battle fought on 18 August 1940 during the Battle of Britain between the German Luftwaffe and British Royal Air Force (RAF). On that day, the Luftwaffe made an all-out effort to destroy RAF Fighter Command. The air battles that took place on that day were amongst the largest aerial engagements in history to that time. Both sides suffered heavy losses. In the air, the British shot down twice as many Luftwaffe aircraft as they lost. However, many RAF aircraft were destroyed on the ground, equalising the total losses of both sides. Further large and costly aerial battles took place after 18 August, but both sides lost more aircraft combined on this day than at any other point during the campaign, including 15 September, the Battle of Britain Day, gen

  • O Dia Mais Difícil (em inglês: The Hardest Day) foi uma batalha aérea da Segunda Guerra Mundial travada em 18 de agosto de 1940 durante a Batalha da Grã-Bretanha entre a Luftwaffe e a Força Aérea Real (RAF). Naquele dia, a Luftwaffe fez um grande esforço para destruir o Comando de Caças da RAF. As batalhas aéreas que aconteceram naquele dia estavam entre os maiores combates aéreos da história até àquele momento. Ambos os lados sofreram grandes perdas. No ar, os britânicos derrubaram duas vezes mais aeronaves da Luftwaffe do que perderam. No entanto, muitas aeronaves da RAF foram destruídas ainda no solo, equilibrando as perdas totais de ambos os lados. Outras batalhas aéreas grandes e dispendiosas aconteceram depois de 18 de agosto, mas ambos os lados perderam mais aeronaves combinadas nes (pt)
