The Battle of Britain

1969

The story of Hitler's attempt to win air superiority over the Brits in WWII. All star, big budget, big action film delivers. One of the very best. Special mention for Ron Goodwin's score who briefly takes a back seat to a brilliant piece written by classical composer, William Walton. Highly recommended.

Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high
