Watch young men, some not long out of school, fighting for their lives? Watch aircraft, with crew inside, spiral to the ground and explode? Watch burning pilots trying to control burning planes before they crash? The Battle of Britain sounds romantic and heroic but it was the same old bloodbath as every other battle.
