Thank you for posting.

Some excellent B/W footage there. A brief reference to spitfire stability although neg G cut-out doesn't get a look in. It is nice that it isn't all about the spitfire or all about the RAF. A typical RAF loadout incorporating De Wilde is mentioned.

Luftwaffe and RAF get equal billing, worth a look if you haven't seen it before.

Looks good, and I hope to watch the rest of it when I get some time.

Unfortunately you must be careful posting films like this. In the first two and a half minutes the documentary states that Germany was going to invade Britain after they had achieved air superiority AND that Germany lost the Battle of Britain.

This is much too controversial for this forum. Soon you will start an argument that Germany never, intended to invade Britain AND the Battle never actually finished, Germany just relocated its air forces on the Eastern front! This will rapidly degenerate that it was actually the British who started WWII.

Documentaries like this will be accused of just being a case of the victors rewriting history.

From my brief look at the intro it looks very much like the History I learned at school and have read about in books!

Cheers!

Thanks for that link Chantaje, hadn't seen this one yet and enjoyed it a lot.
Just like "Dark blue world" which I found to be excellent.
