In commemoration of August 15, 1940. (70 years ago, tomorrow.) My second IL2 video over the 352nd's incredible Cross Channel Map. This coop mission was inspiration from a book that was picked up from inspiration from their map.

Getting in a simulated hurricane or a spit against a 100 bombers and fighters really makes one appreciate what these "boys" were able to accomplish.
Churchill visited 11 Group’s operations room at RAF Uxbridge on August 16 during a day of battle. Afterward, Churchill told Major General Hastings Ismay ‘Don’t speak to me, I have never been so moved’. After several minutes of silence he said ‘Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few.’ The sentence would form the basis of his speech to the House of Commons on August 20 and yield another great quote in 1941:
"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
Note: I slowed down the music track 5%, but still came up on the copyright radar. I'll have to see if it sticks
