- Summary:
- A presentation of the strategy of the Battle of Britain, the film shows the relationship of the various forces which went to make up the island's wall of steel. Here is the RAF in its epic battle with the Luftwaffe, the Navy in its stubborn fight against the raiders of sea and sky. Here are the coastal defences, the mechanized cavalry, the merchant seamen, and, behind them all, Britain's tough, unbending civilian army.
