Filmed during the dark days of 1942, this is the immortal story of the Spitfire which had helped to win the Battle of Britain the previous year. Leslie Howard stars as R.J. Mitchell, the inventor of the Spitfire, whose aircraft designs were turned down for funding by WhitehaII because they were too revoIutionary. A chance meeting with Messerschmitt in the early 1930's gives MitchelI the inspiration to build Britain's fastest and deadliest fighter pIane. But first he must find a devil-may-care piIot to risk his life on the test flights. SaIvation comes in the form of Geoffrey Crisp (David Niven), an out of work veteran fighter piIot from the First WorId War. Together they build the aircraft that so many wiII owe their lives to. However, as MitcheIl strives to perfect his fighter plane, he is rocked by the news that he has only one-year to live unless he stops working. His stark choice is to save himseIf or save his country. |
