"They'll be Bluebirds Over the White Cliffs of Dover"
music by Walter Kent
lyrics by Nat Burton
In the dark days of 1941, the high, white chalk cliffs of Dover on the English Channel coast were guideposts for the German planes that flew in a seemingly endless stream to bomb London and other in land targets.
At the height of the battle of Britain, the skies above the cliffs held only terror for the British and their allies. But not Nat Burton and Walter Kent, two American songwriters, looked ahead to better days, when the bombers would be replaced by bluebirds, and created one of the most touching of the “stiff upper lip” songs to come out of World War II.
