John 'Paddy' Hemingway, the final surviving pilot from the WWII Battle of Britain, died at age 105. He bravely defended the UK against Nazi forces in 1940, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross. Despite numerous battles and incidents, Hemingway saw his longevity as luck. Remembered as one of 'the Few' by Winston Churchill, his contributions were commemorated by the UK Prime Minister.
