'Never was so much owed by so many to so few'

On 20 August 1940, Winston Churchill delivered one of his most iconic speeches of the war to the House of Commons. Speaking during the height of the Battle of Britain, he declared, 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few' - a phrase immortalised in posters, like this famous one in IWM's collection.

The phrase paid tribute to the courage of the RAF pilots and crews who were actively defending the skies against the German Luftwaffe, preventing a seemingly inevitable invasion of Britain. The speech came at a moment of extreme national peril and exhaustion. For weeks, citizens had watched dogfights streak across the summer skies while enduring the first terrifying waves of the Blitz.
