James Holland and Al Murray gain rare behind-the-scenes access to the Luftwaffe’s bomber force at the RAF Museum Hendon. Climbing into the cockpit of a Heinkel He 111 and examining the iconic Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, they uncover how Germany’s once-dominant bombers — so devastating in Poland and France — met their match in Britain’s skies during the Battle of Britain.
Discover why the RAF’s integrated air defence network, and the skill of Spitfire and Hurricane pilots, turned the tide in 1940.
