Try to link this beautiful diorama with these memorable words: "Never was so much owed by so many to so few"

yes, yes, yes !!!

I also strongly recommend to read an autobiography of this exceptional man (On Wings of War: My Life as a Pilot Adventurer), from which one can learn more about serving as RAF fighter pilot (i.e. heavy drinking and picking up English girls), operating private airline in Mediterranean (i.e. smuggling Swiss watches across numerous borders) and serving various African rebelions, namely - Katanga and Biafra.
