The Battle of Britain was the fourth of Frank Capra's Why We Fight series of seven propaganda films, which made the case for fighting and winning the Second World War. It was released in 1943 and concentrated on the German bombardment of the United Kingdom in anticipation of Operation Sea Lion , the planned German invasion.
The film endeavoured to be a generally accurate account of the Battle of Britain, when in the summer and autumn of 1940 the British RAF inflicted a strategic defeat on the Luftwaffe and so ensured the cancellation of Operation Sea Lion, Adolf Hitler's plan to invade Britain. The film is notable for its spectacular flying sequences.
The documentary also uses clips from the 1942 film The First of the Few in which director and lead actor Leslie Howard portrays Spitfire designer R.J. Mitchell. The film then follows the evolving design and roles of the Spitfire through the Battle of Britain, the Siege of Malta, the Normandy landings, until its eventual retirement after the war.
