Scorched Earth - Battle of Britain


Scorched Earth - Battle of Britain

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. Winston Churchill. This DVD tells the story of those referred to by Winston Churchill as the few, the handful of courageous young Allied fighter pilots who flew time and again to defy the mighty Luftwaffe. At a time when Nazi Germany had swept all before it and Hitlers eyes were fixed firmly on English shores, the remarkable men of the RAF formed an impenetrable line of defence, risking all to protect our borders. Featuring powerful archive footage and expert comment and analysis. Narrated by Mike Leighton.

Depicting Spitfire of 609 squadron during the Battle of Britain.

Spitfire Tally-Ho by Geoff Lea. 		They came across the English Channel at wave top height, their propeller slipstreams leaving wakes on the surface of the water. Nine Dornier Do17Z bombers of 9th Staffel, KG76, detailed to attack the RAF airfield at Kenley as part of Reichsmarshal Goring's prelude to Operation Sealion - the invasion of Britain. Hitler knew that RAF Fighter Command had to be destroyed in the air and on the ground if his plans were to succeed, but the German High Command failed to take into account the resilience of the young Hurricane and Spitfire pilots, and their determination to hold this last vital line of defence. The Dorniers were spotted as they approached the English coast, and Hurricanes were scrambled to intercept. The German bombers cleared the North Downs with feet to spare and spread out into attack formation as they lined up on the hangars at Kenley. As they came in over the airfield Hurricanes of 111 Squadron came diving upon them. Suddenly all hell broke loose. Bombs rained down on to the airfield and buildings went up in flames. One Dornier was brought down and two more, badly damaged by ground fire, were finished off by the Hurricane pilots. Now the chase was on to catch the others before they could escape back to their base in Northern France. Only one of the nine Dorniers that set out would return to base on that 18th day of August, 1940.

Holding the Line - The Battle of Britain by Nicolas Trudgian. 		A Gloster Gladiator MkII of 247 Sqn is depicted patrolling off the Cornish coast in August 1940 during which time this squadron became the only one to operate the Gladiator in the defence of the South of England during the Battle of Britain.

Lone Gladiator by Ivan Berryman. 		Winston Churchill is shown with a background of Stuka dive bombers and Royal Air Force fighter pilots scrambling to their Hurricanes and Spitfires. This image symbolises the Battle of Britain.

Battle of Britain by Stuart Liptrot.
