1940

I remember once having a Tempest Vs Moth dogfight with Woody and not getting a single kill against him.

I don't remember getting any kills either. But then a solitary .303 is not really suitable for downing fighters of that calibre.

1940 Churchill announces: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat."


On this day in 1940, as Winston Churchill takes the helm as Great Britain's new prime minister, he assures Parliament that his new policy will consist of nothing less than "to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime."
