Über diesen Film

They say she was beautiful. A dream. But for all her good looks, she was also a killer. Spitfire is an epic, sweeping tale of determination, vision and courage. It is the story of an airplane that was forged in competition, shaped as the war clouds gathered, and refined in the white heat of combat – going on to become the most famous fighter plane ever made. Credited with changing the course of world history, this is the story of the Spitfire – told in the words of the last-surviving combat veterans. With stunning aerial footage from the world's top aviation photographer, the film also conatins rare, digitally re-mastered, archive footage from the tumultuous days of the 1940's when her power in the skies was unrivalled. Spitfire also explores how this extraordinary plane thrives today and how it has become an international icon.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

The absolute best story ever done on any aircraft. Superb, some of the best aerial photography I’ve ever scene. Worth watching numerous times just for that. Any aviation or aircraft buff will love this. Music is great too as well as interviews.

A fantastic film on the Super Marine Spitfire, a plane that had lifted itself into British legend and in the end, with the help of all of her allies, defeated the seemingly undefeatable power of Nazi Germany. This film sets the awe, grandeur and hope that the Spitfire gave to the British in her darkest of hours. If you are an aviation lover or in WWII in general, then this film is a must watch

An incredible documentary aboat the known and unknown stories of the legendary Spitfire and the bave people that flew them into battle
