Not a tale of an individual
Richard Hillary: A Fighter Pilot's Story is a somewhat misleading title.
For the brave Australian who was part of England's fighter command during the Battle of Britain was not just an individual, he was part of 1,000's of young men, for whom the ideals of freedom were more than just a group of inspiration words.
They were willing to risk their lives and well being to keep the all-conquering Nazi war machine at bay.
Many of them paid dearly for their stand, Richard Hillary was one of them. His exploits are better known due to his ability to author his story, as an individual representative of so many.
Remember them all, for they all gave so much.
Watch this film to take in the spirit of the prevailing times, they were important moments in history.
