In May 1940 eighteen-year old Geoffrey Wellum joins the 92 squadron of the Royal Air Force and is taken to the pub,where pilots who have seen action sign their names on a blackboard. Next day,with no flying experience,he is expected to pilot a Spitfire;he is nervous but exhilarated. Soon he is seeing action against the Luftwaffe,his sense of duty dispelling fear,and,having taken part in the Battle of Britain,is awarded a medal,though he never signs the blackboard. By 1941 he has flown fifty missions and feels invincible,though he sees friends die and in 1942 the stress causes him to have a breakdown. However he survives the war and,in the present,talks direct to camera,voicing his feelings about his service experiences.

| User ReviewChris WVery good film of an excellent book. This is a MUST SEE |
| User ReviewRaelene HA wonderful little movie. Well acted and a true story about the youngest Spitfire pilot during the Battle of Britain. Gave a great look into what these young men went through during the early days of the war. Great footage of Spitfires in combat. |
| User ReviewPaul RA must see for WW II and military aviation aficionados. This movie is based on a few months from the memoirs of an 89 year-old man who flew Spitfires for the RAF starting at age 18 in the Battle of Britain. |
