Battle of Britain: Never was so much owed by so many to so few

Never was so much owed by so many to so few was a wartime speech made by the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill on 20 August 1940. The name stems from the specific line in the speech, Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few, referring to the ongoing efforts of the Royal Air Force pilots who were at the time fighting the Battle of Britain, the pivotal air battle with the German Luftwaffe with Britain expecting a German invasion. With the battle won a few months later and German plans postponed, the Allied airmen of the battle ultimately became known as "The Few".

Plot

The facts behind what many war historians consider to be the greatest air battle in history are explored in this release documenting the against-all-odds dogfight between the Royal Air-force and Adolph Hitler's feared Luftwaffe. With France fallen and Britain all but defeated, the raw courage displayed by the RAF Fighter Command would not only inspire a nation, but change the very course of history. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
