Aces in Exile

In the skies above the isle, aces in exile prevail

From near and far they arrived, join the force

Ready to serve the Allied Command

Sent into training, though they already earned their wings

They were ready to fly, they were fit for the fight

Once in the air the battle began

They had proven their worth, now they fly for revenge

Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land

Let the story be heard, tell of the 303rd

Fighter pilots of Poland in the Battle of Britain

Guarding the skies of the isle

Even at night shadows cover the ground

Fighting goes on from dusk till dawn

We'll claw off the Reich with the claw of the eagle

They were ready to fly, they were ready to die

Up in the air the battle goes on

They have proven their worth, now they have their revenge

Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land

Tell their story again, tell of 310

Men from Czechoslovakia in the Battle of Britain

Guarding the skies of the isle

Over the battlefield, brave men, long way from home

You are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die

Over the battlefield, brave men, long way from home

You are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die

Oh, fly, it echoes in history

Turning the tide in the heavens above

Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land

When the battle's been won tell of 401

Fighter pilots from Canada in the Battle of Britain

Guardin' the skies of the isle

On wings of history they turn from home

To live eternally, sky-bound they roam

In all of history, never before was more owed to so few
