In the summer of 1940, the Royal Air Force battles Nazi Germany's
Luftwaffe to prevent invasion of Great Britain. Commander-in-chief
Hugh Dowding (Laurence Olivier) directs operations of the restricted
fighter command, sending tired men into the skies for momentous
dogfights to support his key strategy.
This historical re-enactment is notable for its stellar cast and
some truly spectacular aerial footage.
TRIVIA NOTE
The German military advisor for Battle of Britain was Adolf
Galland. A Major-General in the Luftwaffe before he was 30, Galland
recorded 104 kills of Allied aircraft during WWII and was considered
one of the world's greatest fighter pilots.
