This is the best film of its genre ever made. Howard did an amazing job as actor, director and producer. His death (shot down on June 1943 in a commercial DC3 over the Bay of Biscay by German fighters outside of their patrol zone) took place just over eight months after the film's release and while still playing in theaters. It is gratifying that he saw its success and its impact on morale. It is a terrible tragedy that the career of this brilliant actor and director was cut short, as he could have easily continued to make a tremendous contribution well into the 1970's.
As for RJ MItchell, his five year fight with cancer was equally tragic, although he was able to view many test flights, and even earned his pilot's license in 1934, a year after a colostomy. He passed away three years and a month before the start of the Battle of Britain.

Something is amiss...keep getting the 90 second promo... even though I'm properly logged in to my account...will try back at a later date...

Why is this in Hulu Plus? I mean, seriously. First ads, then "oh, you have to pay if you want to see this 70-year-old movie". Hulu, you suck just like Veoh sucks.Bring back Stage 6!

Im an aircraft guy....USMC . This movie was spot on in technical accuracy and aviation buffs will note the relunctance to use cheesy models and instead show actual aircraft whenever possible!...great historical accuracy too!!! Well done Leslie Howard and Dave Nivens!!!!! Awesome delivery !! Thanks Hulu!!!
