Air War 1940

Hi All,

I stumbled across this website relating to the early stages of the air war in Europe.

World War 2 - RAF May 1940

Cheers

Owen

Great site. Use it often as it comes up in many searches especially for my Aussies in the RAF area.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
