The red and black segmented sun suggests “round the clock” operations while the lightning flash indicates speed and is also a reference to the unit’s early use of wireless telephony for artillery co-operation. 4 Squadron Personnel l914 Squadron Personnel 2009 5 FOREWORD By OC IV(AC) Squadron Wg Cdr H Smyth ‘…the man who looks back at history, goes forward with one eye blind; he who looks only to the future, goes forward blind in both eyes.’ (Russian Proverb) On the 16th September 2007, No IV(Army Co-operation) Squadron celebrated its 95th Anniversary.

All Nations Together a Battle of Britain Resource
All Nations Together A Battle of Britain resource This resource provides biographical content to supplement a Key Stage 3 student study into the Battle of Britain. It highlights the international profile of the Royal Air Force in 1940. As well as investigation into the political, strategic, tactical and technical aspects of the battle, no study is complete without reference to the human experience of the event. This was an early phase of the Second World War when the outcome hung upon the skills and courage of a small number of combatants and support staff. It may surprise students to learn that numbered among Churchill’s ‘Few’ were participants from many Allied nations. A study of the Battle fits into Key Stage 3 History in the following ways: • In the broad purpose of the study of history, as outlined in the National Curriculum: ‘History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.’ • One of the key aims for the teaching of KS3 history is to: ‘know and understand the history of these islands as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day: how people’s lives have shaped this nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world.’ • Amongst options for subject content is the unit: ‘challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day … this could include: … the Second World War and the wartime leadership of Winston Churchill.’ The Battle of Britain, 10 July to 31 October 1940, was a large air battle fought between the German air force - the Luftwaffe - and the Royal Air Force of Great Britain.
