28 October 1940

Italian forces invade Greece from Albania. By the end of December the Royal Air Force (RAF) have deployed three light bomber squadrons equipped with Bristol Blenheims (Nos. 30, 84 and 211 Squadrons) and two fighter squadrons equipped with Gloster Gladiators (No.80 and No.112 Squadrons) to Greece. The Gladiator squadrons succeed in achieving a degree of air superiority over the Italians.
