Guy Hamilton's classic war film looks at how England defended
itself from the German aerial onslaught of the summer of 1940.
Laurence Olivier plays Sir Hugh Dowding, the air chief marshal
whose fleet outmanouevre the Luftwaffe, despite a numerical
disadvantage; and those few to whom so many owed so much are
portrayed by an all-star cast including Michael Caine, Kenneth More
and Ralph Richardson. Despite its pro-British slant, the
authenticity of the film's impressive flying sequences was
guaranteed by the technical advice of Adolf Galland, one of the
Nazi's most celebrated World War 2 pilots.

challenged.
