The information given in this timeline of the Battle of Britain came entirely from the book "The Battle of Britain" by Richard Townshend Bickers. It is a highly informative, beautifully illustrated history of the events of the summer of 1940. It is published by Salamander books and is probably the best single volume history of the battle available.
