My salute to The Battle of Britain's "few"

[Blazer]

Here's wing commander Morgendorffer of the Women's ATA of the Royal Airforce after delivering a Spitfire to the needing squadrons.

I'm not sure if I should color this one, I love the raw way this version looks.

"Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few."
- Winston Churchill

And a global amen to that...

"...Most replacements from Operational Training Units (OTUs) had as little as nine hours flying time and no gunnery or air-to-air combat training..."

[EdHunter]

Right on!
A true landmark in the war against the Nazi War Machine, and the bravery and heroism of all those who flew, maintained, observed and withstood must be honoured until we have no breath left to honour them with.

I wrote a song about the BoB, in the "Aces High" style...

The Finest Hour
Siren... Hear the piercing scream
Guns… Sound of rolling steel
Waken… From a midday dream
Running… Across a mown grass field

Climb… Into the cockpit
Start… The roaring engine
Fear… Although you won’t admit
Speeding… Across the ground ‘til you’re flying

(Chorus)
To save the world
Find the power
To turn the tide
In the darkest hour
Kill ‘em all
Fight the power
Let this be your finest hour

Dive… Down to attack
Rip… Through the enemy formation
Messerschmitt… There’s one on your back
Turning… Tracer flashing by

Heinkel… Looms large in your sights
Fire… Off a short burst of lead
Flames… As the bomber ignites
Falling… Like Icarus to the ground

(Chorus x2)
