Britain's finest hour. Truly amazing and inspiring stuff.

Churchill's speeches always give me goose bumps!

This is the first documentary video I have personally come across that mentions the Royal Navy regarding Germany's plans to invade. So much attention is concentrated on the RAF (which I agree should be the case) that many documentaries forget that the Royal Navy wouldn't just float about in the North Sea and let Germany tow those invasion barges uncontested. Air superiority or not, the Germans would be mauled by the home fleet and they knew it.

The Average age of those RAF lads was just 20 years old, going into the skys against experienced veterans. Greatest generation.

It's interesting to note that the Lutwaffe had already suffered significant losses during the battle of France. In 1 month and a half during the battle of France the Lutwaffe lost 1.290 aircraft, almost as much as during the 3 months of the battle of Britain.

The Battle of Britain shows how technology and the spirit of resistance can change the fate of a war. A lesson that's still valid today.

My Da was a Southern California boy with a pilotâs license who went to Britain as a volunteer & became a Flight Lieutenant in the 71st Eagle Squadron. He told me the Spitfire was as close to perfect as a plane could get, with all of the controls & instruments positioned to make operating it almost instinctive. He had flown Hurricanes as well, but the Spitfire was the plane he loved the most.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. You coax us back from doom. Thank you.

Always amazed at how great a speaker Churchill, the words and his delivery calmed the warfighter and the civilian supporting the fighter and country.

It was Britain's first stand. The RAF was the FIRST line of defence against invasion, not the last.

The graphic representations of the speeches are fantastic!

At about a minute, that looks like a P-40, which didn't participate in the BoB.

An excellent documentary and some aerial combat footage I don't recall seeing before. Many thanks.

The people who did the graphics should be made Garter Knights. Well done! Loved your work!

This kind of cleanly produced, quality and concise content puts anything being shown on TV to shame.
