Group Captain Douglas Bader has become a legend in his lifetime. Legendary too are Britain's two most famous fighters, the Spitfire and Hurricane. Perhaps no one is better than Douglas Bader to tell their story.
His story begins with the birth of these two great fighting aeroplanes. Then he follows their fortunes through the war. The Spitfire and Hurricane fought all over the world. They flew high, they flew low - on land and on sea; they adapted to many military and naval tasks. But their greatest contribution was when the Royal Air Force was fighting for the sky in the high summer of 1940 during the Battle of Britain.
