Battle of Britain: Model Squadron

Churchill called it ‘Our Finest Hour’. Now as part of the RAF’s centenary, the Battle of Britain is brought to life like never before as top model airplane pilots recreate the days that changed history. This exciting and ambitious 3-part series sees modellers recreate dive bombing, aerial encounters and dog fights above the south coast. Looked on by historian James Holland, the series uncovers the strategy, tactics and history of those key moments of the summer of 1940 when the future of the British Isles hung in the balance. Throughout, the modellers push themselves and their miniature flying machines to the limit to commemorate the sacrifices of the past and celebrate the bravery of ‘the few’ .
