Addressing the British House of Commons in August 1940, Prime Minister Winston Churchill paid tribute to the pilots of the Royal Air Force who were staving off an impending German invasion of the British Isles in what would be known as the Battle of Britain.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few,” Churchill proclaimed.

When John A. Hemingway died in Dublin on Monday at 105 — the Royal Air Force announced his death — he was the last known survivor of the “few,” nearly 3,000 pilots and crew who saved Britain in the early stages of World War II.

Mr. Hemingway, who was known as Paddy, piloted Hurricane fighters in the battle, which took place in the skies above Britain between July 10 and Oct. 31, 1940.

Hitler had planned a September 1940 invasion of the British Isles, known as Operation Sea Lion. But he postponed it indefinitely when the R.A.F. — vastly outnumbered at the height of battle, with 749 fighter aircrafts compared with the Luftwaffe’s 2,550 — beat back German bombers and fighters, foiling his quest to establish the air supremacy that Germany needed to support invading ground troops. However, the Blitz, Germany’s bombing of London and other British cities, extended into the spring of 1941.

Britain, facing a Continent dominated by her enemies, prepared for a fight to the death,” The New York Times had reported that June.

Flying over France, Britain and Italy in World War II, Mr. Hemingway was shot down four times between 1940 and 1945. He received Britain’s Distinguished Flying Cross in July 1941 for downing and damaging German planes.

“During the war, all my closest friends were killed, and my memories and thoughts about them I have always regarded as a private affair,” Mr. Hemingway told the British newspaper The Telegraph on the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Britain.

“But being the last of the Battle of Britain veterans has made me think of those times,” he said. “Fate was not democratic. New pilots with just a few hours in Hurricanes did not have the instincts of us more experienced pilots and were very vulnerable in combat. Many did not last long.”

John Allman Hemingway was born on July 17, 1919, in Dublin. After attending St. Andrew’s College there, he enlisted in the R.A.F. in 1938 and graduated from flight school.

He first saw combat in the spring of 1940 when he flew in support of the British Expeditionary Force’s ultimately futile quest to turn back the German invasion of France. He shot down a German bomber in May, but the next day he had to make a forced landing when his plane was hit by antiaircraft fire.

The British Army, routed by the Germans, returned home in the storied evacuation from the French port of Dunkirk in late May and early June. France capitulated to Hitler with the signing of an armistice on June 22.

Flying afterward in defense of Britain, Mr. Hemingway was intercepting German bombers over the English Channel on Aug. 18 when his Hurricane was shot up.

“Somebody clobbered me,” he told The Daily Mirror in 2018. “They hit me in the engine. It covered the inside of the cockpit with oil, and things got very smelly and hot. I had no hope of getting to England, so I bailed out and landed in the sea.

“There were jellyfish everywhere,” he continued. “I started swimming. Two hours later, a rowboat from a lightship bumped into me.”

He climbed aboard, grabbed an oar and helped the crew return with him to England.

Later in August, Mr. Hemingway survived a third close call, this time while pursuing a German bomber over southeastern England. As he told The Daily Mirror: “I got a Dornier in my sight and started to pull around and have a second go. That was it — ‘bang, bang’. There was smoke everywhere.” He bailed out. “I landed in the Pitsea marshes, where I faced the local Home Guard,” he said.

He added wryly, “I could speak reasonable English, so they didn’t shoot me.”
Mr. Hemingway was an Allied flight controller during the D-Day invasion of Normandy in June 1944. The next year, in April, he was a squadron commander in Italy when his Spitfire fighter was downed by the Germans. He bailed out again and was rescued by farm workers, who disguised him in peasant clothing and smuggled him to the British lines.
After the war, Mr. Hemingway held posts with Britain’s Air Ministry and its delegation to NATO in Paris. He retired from the R.A.F. in 1969 as a group captain, the equivalent of an American colonel, and lived in Britain and Canada before returning to Ireland in 2011.
The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, which assists current and former R.A.F. personnel and their families, announced on May 8, 2020 — the 75th anniversary of V-E Day, which marked Germany’s surrender — that Mr. Hemingway had become the last living veteran of the Battle of Britain after the death of William Clark a day earlier at 101.
“We owe so much to Paddy and his generation for our freedoms today,” William, the Prince of Wales, said on social media on Tuesday, paying tribute to Mr. Hemingway.

In its statement, the R.A.F. said of Mr. Hemingway, “He never saw his role in the Battle of Britain as anything other than doing the job he was trained to do.”

Mr. Hemingway’s survivors include three children, Susan, Michael and Brian. His wife, Bridget, died in 1998. He died in a nursing home in Dublin.

“I am here because I had some staggering luck and fought alongside great pilots in magnificent aircraft with ground crew in the best air force in the world at that time,” Mr. Hemingway told The Irish Independent in September 2020. “It was just a matter of taking each day at a time. Others write the history — we were doing our job.”

Didn’t see that coming. Signs a six year deal. Buyout at WV is 6.1 million.

NCAA TOURNAMENT | FIRST ROUND
WHEN: Friday, March 21 | 5:00 PM (CT)

WHERE: Schollmaier Arena | Fort Worth, Texas

TV: ESPN (Brenda VanLengen, Andrea Lloyd)

RADIO: Huskers Radio Network (Matt Coatney, Jeff Griesch)

Nebraska makes its third NCAA Tournament appearance in the past four seasons when the Huskers take on Louisville in the first round Friday in Fort Worth, Texas. Tip-off between the No. 10 seed Huskers (21-11, 10-8 Big Ten) and the No. 7 seed Cardinals (21-10, 13-5 ACC) at Schollmaier Arena is set for 5 p.m. (CT).

Live television coverage will be provided by ESPN with Brenda VanLengen and Andrea Lloyd on the call. Nebraska fans can listen across the Huskers Radio Network, including 107.3 FM in Lincoln, 590 AM in Omaha, Huskers.com and the Huskers App. Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch will be on the radio call with pregame beginning at 4:30 p.m. (CT). The game marks the 801st called by Coatney and Griesch together -- more than any other broadcast team for any sport in Husker history.

The Huskers earned their 17th all-time NCAA Tournament bid when they heard their name announced in the field of 68 for March Madness on Sunday night. Nebraska will be making its 11th NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007 (19 seasons).

Nebraska earned its third NCAA Tournament bid in the last four years under head coach Amy Williams despite playing the past 20 games without 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Natalie Potts, who suffered a season-ending knee injury against North Alabama on November 19. Potts was averaging team bests of 17.5 points and 8.0 rebounds through the first four games prior to her injury. The Huskers have also played the last 16 games without fourth-year guard Allison Weidner, who was a starter as a freshman on Nebraska's 2022 NCAA Tournament team in Louisville.

Nebraska will be hunting for its 10th all-time NCAA Tournament victory while trying to advance to the second round for the second straight year after defeating Texas A&M (61-59) last season in Corvallis, Oregon.

The Huskers are led by four-time All-Big Ten center Alexis Markowski, who is surging down the stretch for the Big Red. The Lisa Leslie Award midseason finalist leads Nebraska with 16.5 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. She recorded her 12th double-double of the season and 52nd of her career with 19 points and 10 rebounds against Rutgers (March 5).

Big Ten All-Freshman Britt Prince averaged 17.0 points and 5.3 assists in three Big Ten Tournament games for the Big Red. Prince has scored in double figures in each of the past four games after missing two games (Oregon, Washington) with a lower leg injury suffered in the closing minutes of a loss at Illinois (Feb. 16). The 5-11 point guard ranks second among the Huskers in scoring (13.4 ppg) while leading the Big Red in assists (3.7 apg) and steals (1.7 spg). She matched her career high with 24 points in Nebraska's Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal loss to eventual champion and NCAA Tournament overall No. 1 seed UCLA in Indianapolis on March 7.

NUMBERS TO WATCH

- Alexis Markowski (1,890) ranks No. 7 on Nebraska's career scoring list. She needs 10 points to reach 1,900 in her career.

- Markowski (1,210) is the second Husker in history to achieve 1,200 career rebounds. Janet Smith (1,280, 1979-1982) owns the top spot on NU's career rebound chart.

- Markowski (134) will move into a tie for fourth on Nebraska's career games played list with 134 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

- Markowski (103) produced her 103rd game scoring in double figures with 11 points against No. 4 UCLA in the Big Ten quarterfinals (March 7). She has scored double digits in 27 of 32 games for the Huskers this season, after getting double figures in 32 of 35 games a year ago. She scored 10 or more points 21 times as a freshman and 23 times as a sophomore.

- Markowski (91) needs three blocked shots to match Kelsey Griffin (94) for 10th on Nebraska's career blocked shot list.

- Markowski (52) owns the top spot on Nebraska’s career double-doubles list, 12 more than first-team All-Americans Kelsey Griffin (40, 2006-10) and Jordan Hooper (40, 2011-14).

- Kendall Coley (136) is tied for second on the NU all-time list in games played. Sam Haiby owns the school record with 139.

- Britt Prince (389/117) owns 389 points and 117 rebounds as a true freshman point guard for the Huskers. Nebraska's WNBA first-round draft picks Lindsey Moore and Nicole Kubik did not achieve either 300 points or 100 rebounds as true freshmen starting point guards at Nebraska.
- Prince (107) ranks third on Nebraska's freshman assist list with 107. She dished out 16 assists over three Big Ten Tournament games to pass Rachel Theriot (5th, 101) and Amy Stephens (4th, 105) on NU's freshman assist chart.

- Prince (50) recorded her 50th steal of the season with two steals in the win over Rutgers (March 5). She became the first Husker freshman since Nicole Kubik (1996-97) to record 50 steals. Prince needs eight steals to match Amy Stephens (58) for the fifth-best steals total by a freshman in NU history.

- Callin Hake (99) needs one assist to reach 100 the season.

- ACC All-Freshman selection Tajianna Roberts has been an explosive newcomer for the Cards. The 5-10 guard ranks second on the team in scoring (13.1 ppg) while sharing the team lead in three-pointers made (51) with Curry. The second-team All-ACC guard also leads Louisville with 54 steals.

- Fellow 5-10 freshman guard Imari Berry started alongside Roberts at the ACC Tournament, replacing Curry in the lineup. Berry has averaged 5.0 points and 2.4 rebounds this season.

Nebraska baseball game story via Husker Athletics:

Nebraska hit 9-of-12 with runners in scoring position, as the Huskers posted a 9-6 win at Pepperdine on Tuesday afternoon at Eddy D. Field Stadium in Malibu, Calif.

Nebraska (8-11) scored nine runs on 12 hits, while Pepperdine (4-15) had six runs on seven hits.

Eight of the nine Huskers in the starting lineup recorded a hit, including four Huskers with a two-hit game. Riley Silva was 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored, and Robby Bolin had a 2-for-3 afternoon with an RBI and a run.

Will Jesske was 2-for-3 at the plate with a double, an RBI and a pair of runs scored. Devin Nunez recorded a two-hit afternoon, while Joshua Overbeek and Cael Frost tallied a hit and an RBI each. Tyler Stone posted a hit and an RBI, and Cayden Brumbaugh went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a pair of sacrifice flies.

Carson Jasa improved to 2-1 on the year after dealing five strong innings. The redshirt freshman allowed two runs on a pair of hits while striking out seven and issuing two walks. Pryce Bender surrendered four runs on three hits in 1.1 innings, followed by Grant Cleavinger facing two batters.

Casey Daiss pitched 1.2 shutout frames, while Luke Broderick took the mound for the Huskers in the bottom of the ninth. Broderick picked up his fourth save of the season after working around a walk and a hit in the bottom of the ninth.

Dylan Carey reached on a fielder’s choice and stole second base with one out in the top of the second. The Huskers plated the game’s first run when Jesske ripped a double down the left-field line to score Carey and give the Big Red a 1-0 lead in the second.

The Huskers added three runs on four hits in the top of the third to grow the lead to 4-0. Nebraska had the bases loaded after a leadoff four-pitch walk to Silva, followed by consecutive singles from Overbeek and Nunez.

Brumbaugh lifted a sacrifice fly to right to bring home Silva and double Nebraska’s lead. RBI singles up the middle from Stoen and Frost had the Big Red out front 4-0 through three innings.

Jesske was plunked to begin the fourth and moved to second on Robby Bolin’s sacrifice bunt. Silva produced the Huskers’ sixth hit with a runner in scoring position on Tuesday, as the senior laced an RBI single to right field to plate Jesske and give NU a five-run lead.

A hit batter and two stolen bases had a runner on third for the Waves with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, while an RBI single blooped down the right-field line spoiled Jasa’s no-hit bid and plated Pepperdine’s first run of the afternoon.

The Waves led off the bottom of the fifth with a full-count walk and climbed within three runs with a two-out RBI single to center that trimmed the Huskers’ lead to 5-2 through five innings.

The NU offense erupted for four runs on four hits in the top of the sixth to expand the lead to 9-2. A one-out walk and consecutive singles plated the first run of the inning for the Big Red. Sila followed with a bunt single to load the bases with one out.

A walk to Overbeek on a 3-1 count allowed Jesske to jog home, while an RBI single to center from Nunez advanced the runners a base and scored Bolin. Brumbaugh lifted a 2-2 pitch to right field for a sacrifice fly that brought home Silva and had the Huskers out front by seven.

Pepperdine got one of the four runs back with a leadoff solo homer in the bottom of the sixth to bring the Waves within 9-3.

A three-run rally in the bottom of the seventh cut the Huskers’ lead in half with two innings to play. A leadoff single and hit batter had runners on first and second with one out, while an RBI double down the left-field line began the scoring in the inning.

A two-RBI double to left field brought Pepperdine within three runs, while a double play from the Husker defense ended the inning and sent a 9-6 NU lead into the eighth inning.

Broderick took the mound in the bottom of the ninth and worked around a walk and a hit to preserve Nebraska’s 9-6 win on Tuesday afternoon.

Nebraska and Pepperdine conclude the two-game midweek set tomorrow afternoon at Eddy D. Field Stadium. First pitch between the Huskers and Waves is set for 5 p.m. CT on ESPN+.

Nebraska beats Pepperdine 9-6. Perhaps we should only play midweek.
