Summary

With unseen footage from the feature film, Battle of Britain, this series provides an unbiased accounts of the events in the skies above Britain. A chronological account of a country preparing to defend itself against a rising empire. This focuses on events from July to early Sept. 1940, where both sides were finding their feet. The Germans tried initially to bomb British naval shipping with limited success. Three separate attacks in August, targeting RAF airfields were successful - Biggin Hill, North Weald & Kenley were all put out of action - albeit temporarily. Then the Germans made a mistake that ultimately lost them the war
