Aces in Exile

In the skies above the isle, Aces in exile prevail

From near and far they arrived, joined the force

Ready to serve the allied command

Sent into training though they already earned their wings

They were ready fly, they were fit for the fight

Once in the air, the battle begins

They have proven their worth, now they fly for revenge

Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land

Let their story be heard, tell of 303rd

Fighter pilots from Poland in the battle of Britain

Guarding the skies of the isle

Even at night shadows cover the ground

And the fighting goes on from dusk until dawn

With the claw of 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

Few are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die

Over the battlefield brave men long way from home

Few are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die

Fly, it echoes in history

Turning the tide in the heavens above

Oh, fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land

When the battle has been won, tell of 401

Fighter pilots from Canada in the battle of Britain

Guarding the skies of the isle

On wings of history they turned from

Home to live eternally skybound they roam

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

Fighter pilots in exile!
