There's also a Joseph Lucas song-to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
My workout buddy told me yesterday that while listening to the local classical
music station (KUSC-Yeah!) they played a piece by Walton writtten for a British
movie during WWII about the Supermarine Spitfire-called (something like)
"Spitfire MArch and Fugue". And this on one of the few mornings I didn't have
my radio on! Darn!
He said there was also another piece written for the Spitfire (aeroplane) for
another WWII movie about Spitfires...
