"Vera" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd which appears on their 1979 double album, The Wall. [1] [2]
The title is a reference to Vera Lynn, a British singer who came to prominence during World War II with her popular song " We'll Meet Again".
The song's intro features a collage of superimposed audio excerpts from the 1969 film Battle of Britain. Among the used clips are a piece of dialogue ("Where the hell are you, Simon?"), a BBC broadcast and battle sound effects.
