Never in the field of human endeavour...

After the Battle of Britain, I think that young men, not only in Britain and in the Common Wealth, but almost across the world, wanted to become fighter pilots. And you can understand that, because it had been such a tremendous effort that the RAF and of course, at that time there were very many Canadians, who served with the RAF. Many of the pilots, in the Battle of Britain were Canadians. And people admired what they had done. And Churchill, as you remember, had said, "Never in the field of human conflict . . ." And so on, that wonderful statement of his. But he also said later on and I think this was a very telling expression, that whereas fighters may well sort of stop the attack, it required bombers to make the attack on Germany and to win the war that way. So fighters could do and had done, what they needed to do and now there was the chance and opportunity and need for bombers to, bomber aircraft to be involved. He was the voice for the free world, I think, at that time. And whereas, we had suffered I think, long enough on the leaders who were kind of wishy washy. When Churchill took over, people felt that at last we got a leader, who would do something. And he proved to be just that sort of person. And I think people regarded him in that way. They regarded him as figure, that they admired and would follow.
