Make no mistake the RAF lost so many Spitfires that production and men able to pilot them couldn't keep up. With the help of Radar and some terrible decisions by Hitler Britain remained in the war. We owe today to the "FEW" but don't let this video make you believe it was nothing more than sheer luck and the sacrifices every man and woman gave during the Battle of Britain. It was so, so close. Ultimately the Channel saved us. Good bless everyone that gave their lives for the effort. Thank you. ❤❤❤

Lovely camera work and sound, thanks 😊

1:51 There were no Focke Wulf 190s in the Battle of Britain. Already, some of the camera shots are from American aircraft attacking ground targets late in the war. I can see where this is going and I'm baling out, right now.

As a seventy six year old English man,this film brings a tear to my eyes for all in that conflict.

if those are fixed lenses it really shows how those aircraft were thrown around.

I'm so glad that the modern support baby butchers, rainbow rag flying, whinge about hurty feelings generation wasn't about in 1939. God bless the young'ns that were and and are not about now to see what they fought and died for being given away.

One of the best videos on RUclips.

never forget

My grandfather fought in ww1 he died when I was 2 years old I'm 58 now my mother had 3 sons and a son inlaw who fought in the so called troubles can't imagine what was going through her head when we were on patrol but this was the real thing God bless them ❤

When will we learn

Gettin’ ‘er done

These were a lot of "rhubarb" missions video's.

Lest we forget.

That pretty MORBID music you chose for this film Kind of fitting I suppose

Man and machine together as one. Repect has been earned beyond calculations. RIP.😢😢😢😢

The more I watch it ... The more I watch it! No problem for me that most of the footage is after the Battle of Britain, just glad you were able to get ANY footage and stitch it together so nicely. Churchill standing in front of one of them, impressive. That formation at 6:39 to 6:51 with the sunlight glinting off them: superb. Thanks Psari, and thanks to all who sacrificed so much then.

that an Italian Macci dropping the whole the whole 9 yards @ 7:19?

It's hard to believe that England now has the weakest military in all of Europe. Didn't seem to learn from their amazing Legacy did they?

I have watched this every year since you posted this. Thank you.

Great video. WW2 will soon pass from living memory as there are so few of the generation left now.

I'm a bit of a history buff, and thought I'd seen just about all of the WW2 footage available. But, a good bit of this is new to the eyes. Excellent...Hats off to the ladies too. A nod to the Hawker Hurricane...which doesn't always get the kudos it deserves.

That first one's definitely a P-51

Tally ho, tally ho.

My father was on that salvage job

6:00 is epic

I don't watch these out of morbid curiosity. I watch them in awe at the bravery of young men some barely out of their teens.Fims like this are so important so that we always remember them and the debt we owe them.Many of them didn't see the end of the war,if only they could have known the pivotal part they played in bringing it to an end and the untold thousands of lives that they saved.

Looks like a mish-mash of footage from various periods and different aircraft types. I have seen most of this footage in other videos attributed to p47s, mustangs, spitfires, p-38's etc. Not taking anything away from the brave pilot's who fought on all fronts...just appreciate historical accuracy.

All i can imagine is young men dying terrible deaths no matter which side it is.

2:20 all I could take of that music. Was waiting for the gun audio.

Amazing footage!! Its great to see exploding German aircraft, thx god we won this war and Germany stood absolutely no chance

Not why they were called "Spitfire" (although they obviously did spit fire, from gun ports and exhausts on startup). A "spitfire" was a term for a sharp-tongued woman, probably why R.J. Mitchell thought it was a silly name. More importantly, most of this footage is post-Battle of Britain.

Love to see this ship rebuild at some point.

So proud of the raf & Commonwealth pilots who flew these things ! Only downfall was these idiots who sent them to war ! Beaurocrats!!!! My father got called up for service during the Korean war & nearly got sent to Malaysia by a Dickhead called Sir Robert Menzies!!!! Thank goodness he never went !!!!

Battle of Britain? No way. Utter crap.

A brilliant video of the most beautiful and awesome aircraft flown by the bravest young men on earth, said and lead by “The greatest man of the twentieth century”,(Teddy Roosevelt) something I'm extremely proud of as an Englishman. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

I wonder if they survive the ones who went through the explosions.

Watched up to 3.00 minutes in. None of which was Battle of Britain footage. Bullshit.

All this death and destruction because no one would stand up to Hitler!!! I hope that we can all learn that when these maniacs come along, they only realize and are restrained by strength. Putin NOW... Chinese?...North Koreans?...Iranians??

Why the gay music?

Music sounded like someone taking a painful dump

My grandfather owned a sheet metal fabrication factory. They made Spitfire wing tips. My mother was evacuated to the countryside during the Battle of Britain. I might owe my life to the Spitfire

Goering asked General Galland if he needs anything during the Battle of Britain.. He said 'Yes, give me Spitfires'

People forget the Spitfire was a purpose built pylon racing plane before the war. That is why the wings are longer and wider and the Merlin engine was the best one made at the time. The US put Merlins in the Mustang three years later. The UK had a full leg -up on Hitler on Day ONE.

Wonderful video series about Normandie! I can't find part 2, I watched it about 10 years ago.

Kill the crap music

I have a gun camera from either a spitfire or hurricane. It still has film in it and I can’t find anyone who will try to develop it.

D Day stripes on these so called Battle of Britain clips. These are not battle of Britain clips, and Ill be hitting the don't recommend channel button.
