[Franek Grabowski]

Even if we assume there was no intention to land on the British soil (which seems logical), there is no reason to claim there was no Battle at all.
Mentioned statistics may be misleading, and I would not be surprised if average number of sorties for a RAF airman was lower than 50 (this will be different for Allies, as being more experienced they usually remained longer on operations). Nonetheless, there were days they were flying four times a day, in constant presence of Luftwaffe. Both period accounts and memories of Allied pilots mention, the period was particularly hard and exhaustive. Also, I would not say that loss of over 10 aircraft per day for both sides was insignificant. It was a major effort of the period, and cannot be compared to later 1000 aircraft raids.
