    Found this a few weeks ago when looking as to how on earth they got all those Heinkels - had no idea they were Spanish! Very interesting indeed...

    I didn't know a lot of that stuff...Thanks for posting...

    I knew it was a financial flop...and that it was the 35 largest airforce in the world...

    I always feel sad about the film...sad that such a great, and BOB is one of if not the best WW2 warbird film there has ever been, did not make much money...It was a shame because it put pay to a lot of warbird films that could have been...To make a film that good and to be a flop does nothing to promote other film makers making more of the same...Big shame...

    Nothing remotely compares to this film as a warbird enthusiast. The air sequences are something we'll never see again outside CGI and they've been used in countless newer films and documentaries. The 'final battle' footage and that chilling soundtrack get me every time. There's a few hard to find books on the making on the film that are wonderful. It must've been incredible being at Duxford back then

    I recently watched this footage. Bloody marvelous ! As per movie quote.

    Problem is that in CGI the aerial sequences will follow the "Star Wars" action formula (planes breaking the laws of physics like in Fly Boys, Red Tails...History Channel Dogfithts)
    expect see this in the announced remark of Battle of Britain.

    The low budget Dark Blue World has enjoyable aerial sequences because re-use B of B footage and real footage with a Spitfire.

    Samples of well done and convincing CGI aerial battles, but this don't fit in Hollywood aerial action concept.
