The first-line British fighters the Spitfire and the Hurricane had demonstrated their capabilities. The Spitfire was a match for the Messerschmitt Bf 109 except at altitudes above 20,000 feet, where the fuel injection of the German fighter gave it an advantage.

RAF Bomber Command retaliated the next night by hitting Berlin with eighty-one planes.
