About the Item
Original Winston Churchill Poster
Lithograph
51 x 40 cm
c.1940-1945
"Never in the field of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few."
The summer of 1940 saw the Battle of Britain reach its peak. Churchill delivered this speech to the House of Commons on the 20th of August 1940. The Battle of Britain had reached its peak that summer and when Churchill famously stated "Never in the field of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few", he was paying tribute to the enormous efforts made by the fighter pilots and bomber crews to establish air superiority over England.
At the end of June 1940, the Luftwaffe had a large numerical superiority over the Royal Air Force, with around 2,550 planes compared to the only 750 planes of the RAF. As a result, the pilots who fought in the victorious Battle of Britain were known as "the few."
This speech figures among Churchill's most famous, standing alongside "we shall fight on the beaches", "their finest hour", and "blood, toil, tears, and sweat" in the history books.
This poster features the famous quote in bold lettering with a faint outline of Churchill's face in the background. The insignia of the Royal Air Force dominates the top of the poster, linking the speech to its context within the Battle of Britain.
