Battle Above Dover by Adrian Rigby  on 29th July 1904, the Luftwaffe launched what they believed was a surprise attack on the port of Dover and the shipping in the area. RAF controllers however were quick to react and Spitfire from Manston along with twelve Hurricanes from Hawkinge intercepted nearly fifty Stukas and no less than eighty fighter escorts.  the battle was intense and made even more dangerous for the RAF by the heavy flak, which the gunners of Dover used to some success, shooting two Stukas out of the sky. at the end of the action, seven German aircraft were lost to just one Spitfire. more significantly, Dover was spared serious damage and no ships were lost.
