“My al the Squadron Leader reminded me of a few things about the ones who proceded these kids, when Hitler thought Britain didn’t have an AnForce—when that little handful of crazy devils stayed in the air day and night until they couldn’t drag themselves out of .their cockpits on landing —until they made it seem that the sky was full of R.A.F. fighters. The Squadron Leader told me about the U-boats in the North Sea who had instructions to dive as soon as any British ’plane was overhead. This was when there weren’t service craft to spare for this job, so they sent out little De Havilland Moths,' slow old crates, just to fly around over the North Sea —and the U-boats stayed tinder.”—Stanley Maxted, speaking in the 8.8.C.’s North American Service.
