This is a story of human endeavours - a contest between the British and German air forces in the summer and autumn of 1940 which has become a defining moment in history.

With unseen footage from the ground-breaking feature film 'Battle of Britain', this documentary series provides for the first time an unbiased account of those events, reliving those terrifying moments in the skies above Britain.

This is a chronological account of a country preparing to defend itself against a rising empire marching its way across Europe, a force to be reckoned with.

Also includes bonus disc with the Story of The Spitfire - a must have for every aviation fan!
