Spitfire. Loaded with interviews and unique footage,
much in color, this program follows the development

and on to the war in Europe. There's also footage
of the Battle of Britain, the European theater and
more. Stuka. Loaded with interviews and unique footage,
much in color, the Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber "whistled"

Ultimately it continued to serve, and you'll see its
achievements here. 102 total minutes, B&W and

role in frustrating Hitler's plans to invade England.
