Originally released in 1943, The Battle of Britain represents the fourth movie in Frank Capra's epic ""Why We Fight"" documentary series. This film traces the fate of the British during the dark days of ""The Blitz."" It is a portrait of the desperate, but ultimately successful struggle to prevent a Nazi invasion of England.

The film begins after the fall of France. With their army in shambles, the British have to rely on their naval and air forces to stave off invasion. These prove to be formidable adversaries, as does Prime Minister Winston Churchill. His stoic attitude and resolve keep the nation focused on victory. Throughout ""The Blitz"" the population never wavers.

This presentation of The Battle of Britain also includes two rare wartime Ministry of Information shorts. ""V-1"" shows the ""buzz bomb"" attacks, while ""Fighter Pilot"" profiles the men about whom Churchill famously said ""Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few.

The Memphis Belle features the most famous documentary to emerge from WWII and three other films in vivid high definition. Shot in 1943, The Memphis Belle was helmed by Academy Award™ winning director William Wyler. It chronicles the 25th and final combat mission of a B-17 crew. A moving and real portrait of courage, it was endorsed by President Franklin Roosevelt, and shown throughout the United States on his order. While dramatizations like Twelve O'Clock High and the Matthew Modine film Memphis Belle have their place, the original documentary has a reality and drama that is unparalleled. It's simply the most definitive chronicle of the air war in Europe as fought by American bomber crews. Also included are additional rare, authentic 8th Air Force films made during WWII. These include Operation Clarion, a confidential account of a bombing campaign, and two propaganda films: the 8th Air Force Report from Britain newsreel which includes a war bonds plea from General Eisenhower, and Mission Accomplished which was shown to defense plant workers.
