In the summer of 1940, with the rest of Europe already conquered, Hitler's armies prepared to invade Britain. All that remained was for Hermann Goring's invincible Luftwaffe to sweep the pitiable remnants of the RAF from the sky and the invasion could begin. That invasion never took place. Goring's Luftwaffe was confronted and ultimately defeated by a handful of British and Allied pilots - a tiny Band of Brothers to be known forever after as 'The Few'. This specially commissioned tribute brings to life England's finest hour. 11. Near Fine/Very Good.
