86 Years on – Beyond ‘The Few’: Rethinking an Iconic Air Battle

As the world marks the 86th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, we present a thought-provoking lecture that challenges the myths surrounding one of the Second World War’s most celebrated turning points.

The lecture revisits long-held assumptions, from Britain’s supposed shortage of pilots and aircraft to Göring’s shifting strategy and the true origins of the London Blitz. 

Far from diminishing the RAF’s achievement, this critical re-examination highlights the resilience and skill of all who served, reminding us that the legacy of the battle belongs to the “Many,” and not just “the Few.”

The mission to kill the man who planned the attack on Pearl Harbor.

In April 1943, American codebreakers intercepted a Japanese message revealing the exact travel plans of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto—the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Americans saw an extraordinary opportunity.

P-38 Lightnings were sent hundreds of miles across the Pacific on a daring interception mission with one objective:

Find Yamamoto. Kill him.

The remarkable story of intelligence, precision flying and revenge that became Operation Vengeance.
