Audience Member Though not as propaganda as ChurchillÂ’s Island, it is a rewarding experience for British patriotism. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member There can be no doubting the authenticity of this film, it was filmed using actual RAF servicemen! Cracking sample of wartime activity. Love the "BBC" style British accents! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
