Dragon, yes, but the British also employed an amazingly simple, yet impossible to knock out fighter production assembly line.
Spitfires and Hurricanes were assembled in pieces all over the country and could be put together at any number of locations. By contrast, the Germans used one central facility for all fighter production and the British would regularly bomb the shit out of it with their heavy bombers (the Lancaster and Halifax). (The Germans didn't even HAVE a heavy bomber.)
In the end, those tired, exhausted British / Polish / Canadian / even a few Americans won the day.
