![Fighter Command March - British March
March composed in 1990 by Kenneth Alwyn to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the battle of Britain.
RAF Fighter Command was one of the commands of the Royal Air Force. It was formed in 1936 to allow more specialised control of fighter aircraft. It operated throughout the Second World War, winning fame during the Battle of Britain in 1940. The command continued until November 1943, when it was disbanded and the RAF fighter force was split into two categories, defence and attack. The defensive force became Air Defence of Great Britain (ADGB) and the offensive force became the RAF Second Tactical Air Force. ADGB was renamed Fighter Command in October 1944 and continued to provide defensive patrols around Britain.[2] It was disbanded for the second time in 1968, when it was subsumed by the new Strike Command.
Performed by the Central Band of the Royal Air Force.
