The Spitfire was the plane no-one wanted - government industry and even the Royal Air Force. Only the faith of its brilliant designer R.J. Mitchell kept the Spitfire project moving forward and into service - just in time to become the symbol of British pride and power as a 'killer fighter' during the Battle of Britain. This is the story of R.J. Mitchell and his most famous aircraft design. This programme - presented and produced by William Woollard - also looks at many of Mitchell's lesser known aircraft designs. As a final salute to R.J. Mitchell and the Spitfire... this unique programme also includes extensive coverage of the Battle Of Britain 50th Anniversary commemoration fly-past over London. The story of the Spitfire features rare prototype footage which includes air to air film as well as dramatic combat footage from the Battle of Britain. Also featuring rare archive materials and exclusive interviews. [show more]
