USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH, Mediterranean Sea—During the early days of World War II, the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill made a memorable comment about British pilots’ defense of their homeland from Nazi Germany.
“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few,” Churchill said in an August 1940 speech.
