Description
A Story of the Few
Two schoolchildren listen to their grandfather as he weaves a tale of courage and destiny. They learn of the hidden magic of Radar, the terrifying shadows of air raids, and soar into the skies to confront the mighty Luftwaffe. As the echoes of Winston Churchill’s speeches introduce powerful songs, the children bring history to life. Then piece by piece, they build a majestic Spitfire, ready to take flight in the heart of the Battle of Britain itself!
