Battle of Britain (1969) was about the famous battle of the British air space during the first half of World War II. The Germans wanted to nullify the infamous Royal Air Force and punish the British Isles. But the Luftwaffe didn't expect to go be beaten back and defeated by a combined allied air force. This was one of the most important battles that decided the fate of the free world. In order to capture England, the Germans had to secure the airways. You can only do such much hit-and-run bombing attacks.
The film makers did an adequate job of recreating the battle. I was impressed by the aerial dogfights and detailed air warfare tactics. The only problem I had was with the uneven acting from the cast. The movie was recently restored on d.v.d. I haven't seen this movie in awhile and when I watch the new transfer and print of the film I'll re-review the restored version.
