Clement Davies and the fall of Neville Chamberlain
On the afternoon of 10 May, Beaverbrook was talking on the telephone to Alan Wood (then one of his employees, and later his biographer), when the conversation was interrupted by another call, from Winston Churchill at the Admiralty.

When Beaverbrook was reconnected, he told Wood: "We've got a new Prime Minister". Alan Wood replied "Thank God!", to which Beaverbrook retorted: "Don't thank God, thank Clem Davies."
