"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the fighter pilots, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day… " Winston Churchill, August 20 1940, on the subject of the Battle of Britain.

For information on the Battle of Britain, a good source (among many) is The Official RAF Site or perhaps www.battle-of-britain.com
