The extraordinary story of how a handful of pilots, 'The Few' faced the might of the Luftwaffe as it attacked British airfields and installations to try and soften up Britain for a land invasion. Britain at War shares the memories and recollections of the pilots who flew time and again to fight the German bombers and hear about the man the history has somehow forgotten. After failing to destroy the RAF to pave the way for invasion, the Luftwaffe turned its attention to British cities; Coventry, Liverpool, Plymouth, Southampton and of course London. ‘We can take it’ was the cry and even now the popular image is of bombed out Londoners who were determined to stand up to all that was thrown at them.
