" Once you have flown,
you will walk the earth
with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been,
and there you long to return."

Oh,
Hedy Lamarr is a beautiful gal,
And Madeleine Carrol is too.
But you'll find, if you query,
a different theory
amoungst any bomber crew.
For the loveliest thing
of which one could sing
this side of the Heavenly Gates,
is no blonde or brunette
of the Hollywood set,
but an escort of P-38s.
Sure, we're braver than hell,
on the ground all is swell,
in the air it's a different story.
We sweat out our track ,
through the fighters and flak,
we're willing to split up the glory.
Well they wouldn't reject us,
so Heaven protect us,
and until all the shooting abates,
give us courage to fight 'em,
and one other small item,
An Escort of P-38s!

"
The gratitude of every home in our Island,
in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world,
except in the abodes of the guilty,
goes out to the British airmen who,
undaunted by odds,
unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger,
are turning the tide of the World War
by their prowess and by their devotion.
Never in the field of human conflict
was so much owed by so many to so few. "
Winston Churchill
House of Commons
August 20th, 1940

"Our
formation is young.
We have not yet any traditions.
We must create tradition by our action in the future.
It depends upon us whether or not the sign of the Diving Eagle,
the badge which unites us,
will go down in history
as a symbol of military honour and valour"
Hauptmann Baron Friedrich August von der Heydte
- April 1940
