Spitfire

What a pleasure to watch. Great cinematography. Certainly fantastic to view at the cinema, and to appreciate the Spitfire in all its beauty.

This is a must see documentary on the people and the flying machine they perfected to protect and defend Britain during the WW2 German attacks.

The Spitfire fighter plane was both functional and beautiful in form. The citizens of Britain honor this machine and it's pilots for their bravery during one of the most frightful times for their country.

Yes, this is an emotional walk into the memory of those directly involved with the history of this plane. But how can it not be emotional when these brave people got through the nightmare of WW2 by the skin of their teeth.

Music is so loud it drowns out the comments of the pilots. To the directors: learn that story is most important thing doesn't need overpowering, intrusive music.

Unlike what was said on other reviews this documentary should be seen as a whole and not something specific. Simply enjoy its beauty and specially the connection between the plane and the people that were involved in flying the most beautiful plane ever made.

Always enjoy the sound of a Merlin. The new flying takes were very good after decades of Battle of Britain (1967) out takes for flying fill. Pleased to see Schneider trophy footage that's been hidden away as it showed the era that seeded the Spitfire. It felt like an enthusiasts movie which undoubtedly will be over the heads of your common garden movie goer. Good effort but a rare story so don't expect many of these productions to happen.
