- Synopsis:
Blast yourself back to the terrifying summer of 1940. Experience all the decisive moments of the fighting as valiant pilots from the 'Battle of Britain' deliver first-hand accounts of their exploits. A combination of interviews and memorable footage affords you a unique view from the cockpit, as the fly boys who protected our shores from Nazi invasion recall the mightiest aerial battle in history. The 'Battle of Britain' shaped the future of our glorious nation, pitting the excellence of the German Luftwaffe against a small, inexperienced group of men flying largely untested aircraft of the RAF's Fighter Command. In this superlative video, several of these combat aces give you an eye-opening view of the conflict as they relive their triumphs and tragedies in candid detail: how the death of comrades affected them psychologically; the terrors of engaging Nazi aircraft and the agony of being on "standby status" for continuous warfare. "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" goes the phrase, and the gritty airmen on display in this video will take you on an exhilarating, and emotional, journey. Witness their dynamic feats from the battle itself as Spitfires and Hurricanes conquered all that Gering's Luftwaffe could throw at them. And above all, delight in the tales recounted by these yesteryear veterans; courageous men who flew for liberty. - Producers:
