James Holland and Al Murray step into the boots of the men who flew the Spitfire and Hurricane during the summer of 1940. From morning briefings to evening debriefs in the local pub, they uncover what daily life was really like for RAF pilots fighting to defend Britain. Filmed on location, this episode of Walking the Ground: Battle of Britain explores the routines, pressures, and camaraderie that defined “The Few.”
