Ep 80 – Battle of Britain – Finally Some RAF... Guy Hamilton’s Air Epic

A massive air-battle film with real planes, real heroes, and some very stiff upper lips. We discuss Battle of Britain (1969). From Christopher Plummer’s Canadian pilot to the kickass WAAF ladies in the control rooms that quietly saved Britain. We talk radar, leadership clashes, and Michael Caine’s dog.

80 years ago... V1 & V2 spotted at Peenemünde RAF Flight Officer / aerial photographic interpreter Constance Babbington Smith During World War II Constance Babington gave up her journalism career and worked in the RAF Women's Auxiliary Air Force as aerial photographic interpreter at the Top Secret No. 1 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit. In the summer of 1943, Flight Officer Babington was credited by spotting the first V1 flying bombs being tested at Peenemunde in Northern Germany at the Baltic Sea. Soon photo interpreters knew what to look for and spotted V2 rockets (since June 1943) and V1 "doodlebug" ramps in Northern France. Post-war, Constance Babington was attached at USAAF Intelligence in Washington D.C. and was portrayed in the 1965 movie "Operation Crossbow". (Photo: RAF/IWM)
