A tribute to the classic British 1969 production, “Battle of Britain”, this movie specifically re-creates some of the memorable scenes, most notably the opening credits in which senior officers review a Luftwaffe unit in France prior to the beginning of the Battle of Britain. The creation of that scene using IL2 simulation mission-building tools is an achievement in itself. The combat action is creatively directed and edited, showcasing some of the most impressive recent IL2 modifications in graphics, sound, and camera tools.
