Churchill pays tribute to fighter pilots
Tuesday, August 20, 1940 www.onwar.com
From London... Churchill produces another of his famous fighting speeches. His message is a tribute to the RAF fighter pilots: “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” In addition, and of more concrete importance to the course of the war, is an official announcement that bases will be leased to the United States.
