This is the story of one airfieldâs role in helping to mount the greatest defence of the nation since the Spanish Armada. Using footage from the Imperial War Museumâs own archives, material shot for the 1969 film The Battle of Britain and interviews with the men and women who served there in 1940, this DVD places Duxford within the context of the wider struggle. From the exhilaration and terror of air-to-air combat to the controversies surrounding the âBig Wingâ, Duxford and the Battle of Britain brings a 1940 fighter station vividly to life.
