Summer 1940, Southern England

London What other planes have we got?

None, sir. All of the available Royal Air Force fighter planes are in the air.

There is considerable damage. 40 British planes have failed to return.

But 56 enemy planes have been downed!

Maybe that’ll make Hitler rethink his invasion strategy.

The great air battle which has been in progress over this island for the last few weeks has recently attained a high intensity.

The gratitude of every home in our Island . . . goes out to the British airmen . . . undaunted by odds . . . and mortal danger . . .

Sir!

A telegram from the White House! Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

President Roosevelt confirms he will send us the destroyers and other munitions for "our little tiff with Mr Hitler . . . "

" … in exchange for leases on military bases in the West Indies and Newfoundland."

He has a sense of humour!
