Churchill's 'Few' will forever be remembered by history as men who thwarted the seemingly invincible German war machine, when all seemed lost. They countered the full force of the Luftwaffe in the daylight battles during the summer of 1940, and in the night skies of the winter. They were, and still are, seen as knights of the air, as our heroes.

Ken 'Hawkeye' Lee, Terry Clark, Tony Pickering, John Ellacombe and Pete Olver - five special airmen who earned the right to wear the Battle of Britain clasp with pride. All fought through the Battle and Blitz, all served and survived to the end of the war, but not all came out unscathed. Here are their stories, all different but with a common purpose - a collective tale of youth maturing against the backdrop of war when the stakes were at their highest. 'This story of courage and bravado, fear and heroism reminds us why so much was owed, and still is, by so many to so few.' Best of British Magazine
