The Spitfire Story
The Spitfire was the plane no-one wanted - government, industry and even the Royal Air Force turned it down. Only the faith of its brilliant designer, R.J. Mitchell, kept the Spitfire project moving forward and into service - just in time to become the symbol of British pride and power as a 'killer fighter' during the Battle of Britain. This is the story of R.J. Mitchell and his most famous aircraft design that was the only Allied warplane kept in production for the entire duration of the war with over 40 different versions seeing service. The story of the Spitfire features rare prototype footage which includes air to air film, as well as dramatic combat footage from the Battle of Britain. Featuring rare archive materials and exclusive interviews, this programme - presented and
produced by William Woollard - also looks at many of Mitchell's lesser known aircraft designs, including the Walrus and Stranraer flying boats, the 'S' series of racing seaplanes that secured the Schneider Trophy for Britain and the worldbeating bomber he was working on at the time of his death which would have been one hundred miles an hour faster than the Lancaster. As a final salute to R.J. Mitchell and the Spitfire, this unique programme also includes extensive coverage of the Battle Of Britain 50th Anniversary commemoration fly-past over London with behind the scenes reports and dramatic air to air and cockpit camera film of the event as it happened. This is a unique insight into the life of R.J. Mitchell with exclusive footage. Written and produced by Tomorrow's World's William
Woollard.
