:42:07
for private Polish chitchat.
:42:14
Finally, and God alone
knows why...
:42:18
I've received
the following signal.
:42:21
"Congratulations. As of today,
this squadron is operational."
:42:26
Signed, "Keith Park...
:42:27
"Air Vice Marshal,
A.O.C. 11 Group."
:42:33
I was wrong about the Poles.
:42:36
We also have the second
Polish squadron, sir.
:42:39
I thought you'd mention that.
:42:40
All right.
Make them operational.
:42:43
And the Canadians?
:42:45
And the Czechs.
We need them all.
:43:00
Looks like London again, sir.
:43:02
Yes.
:43:06
And there's nothing
we can do about it.
:43:09
But if Goering
should concentrate...
:43:13
on London by day...
:43:16
it's another matter.
:43:18
If it means he leaves
my airfields alone...
:43:21
I shan't complain.
:43:23
Even a few days would
give me the chance...
:43:25
to get back to full strength.
:43:27
He'll have farther to come.
:43:30
And to go back.
:43:31
We'll have more time
to intercept.
:43:34
What's more important, Park...
:43:38
his fighters
have only fuel enough...
:43:40
for ten minutes over London.
:43:43
His bombers will lose much
of their protection.
:43:46
For the first time...
:43:49
they'll all come within
the range of 12 Group.
:43:55
Perhaps now,
at last, we shall see...
:43:58
what Leigh-Mallory's
Big Wings are made of.
