"The Spitfire is associated with Britian's victory over the German air force in the Battle of Britain, although it went on flying all through the war and for many years after. "
There was a movie about the Battle of Britain that used pilots of both the RAF and the Luftwaffe. Does anyone know the name of this movie?
It was called "Battle of Britain" released in 1962...
The Luftwaffe was directly used as all the M109, He's and Ju52 aircraft were on loan from the Spanish Air Force and from what I recall the pilots were all either stunt pilots from the states or RAF pilots.
