Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for history and war-film fans and book lovers. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to The Guns of Navarone or Dunkirk. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Never drags, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1968: an older pace and style.

The story of Czech pilots in RAF service during the Battle of Britain, and the ongoing aerial battle in Northern Europe. It tells the story of the crews of the RAF’s No. 311 Squadron, which was mainly crewed by escaped Czech airmen, and their bombing raids during the Second World War.
