"The Few" were the fighter pilots who flew against the German bombers. During the Battle of Britian, there were probably no more than 600 fighter pilots at one time and less aircraft. On Aug 20, 1940, CHurchill said:

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few". The Quote taken in context: The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the fighter pilots, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day.
