Tonight's feature is "First of the Few". Made in 1942 it is a story about Supermarine and has some great footage from the time. It's not all fly around-n-shoot'em up...but gives a history of how things supposedly transpired. Of course this is the Hollywood...or the UK Hollywood take so you know they have to throw a chick in there for love interest. It's 1 hour and 54 minutes longand is best viewed in full screen. So with no further babble..on with the show...
