One of the best films of air war (or perhaps the best) in the Second World War.

It tells the story of the attempt of Germany to invade England destroying first with air strikes all its defenses to send troops across the channel. We can see things from different angles: the commanders of both armies, pilots, air control crew, ground staff, even civilians when germans bombed London. At the end of the film we have a pretty good overview of how things were.

And the other good part is fighting with the Spitfires, Stukas, Henkels, etc.. Incredible amounts of aircrafts in flight. Real aircraft, no computers, you can see dogfights with more than 20 fighters hovering everywhere. I have flown in computer flight simulators and there's nothing like the old planes and the dogfight.

What I really liked: It seems really that it was recorded during the war and that everything is real. Very good actors. The dogfight.

Favorite phrases: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
