Not the best. The dispersal hut was just a cheap garden shed. I,d rate this 1 only |
I like these kind of movies and will probably give it a go despite knowing that Spitfires had a flight range of 440 miles at best, and could not carry enough fuel to get to Berlin ... and back. |
To be fair this is called Battle over Britain, not Battle over Berlin which was about 3+ years later. |
You're probably right. I've been watching Masters of the Air, and one of the points they made was their trips to Berlin were absolute Hell missions until the P51 Mustang came along, because they could fly the whole distance and provide support. Therefore, it's unlikely the Spitfire was able to make the distance. |
Spitfire was an interceptor, so range was never designed in to the aircraft, all about speed and hitting power. The P-51 was designed for bomber escort using all the lessons learnt, but was a failure, until it was fitted with British Merlin engines. Thanks for the movie though. |
It ISN'T "BRITAIN" but "BRITANIA", when you guys gonna study your history or your Language which THE GOD GIVE TO YOU ??? Greetings from IBERIA (real one, not which they call themself and also speaking LATIN like you). Who will decide to learn your History or Language of the God, write in comments, i might will give you some advice. |
What would you expect ? Should it be "Grandpa and Grandma goes to town and eliminates the whole 3'rd Reich, just before they are served afternoon tea and delicious dry bisquits" ? |
