Spitfire is a cinematic, epic, sweeping tale of determination, vision and courage. It is the story of an aeroplane that was forged in competition, shaped as the war clouds gathered, and refined in the white heat of combat going on to become the most famous fighter plane ever made. Credited with changing the course of world history, this is the story of the Spitfire told personally in the words of the last-surviving combat veterans. With breath-taking aerial footage from the world's top aviation photographer John Dibbs and rare digitally re-mastered, archive footage from the tumultuous days of the 1940's, when her power in the skies was unrivalled; all combined with an incredible soundscape of the famous Merlin engine, pierced with gunfire, makes this a striking and poignant film.

Amusing pensioners talking about their favorite era. It's not so much a documentary as a declaration of love, which then has to withstand the full range of ratings, because I can understand that watching a plane whirring in the sky is as fulfilling for some as, say, seeing Will Smith shoot dreadlocked Haitians point-blank in the face while talking dirty is for me. A good idea for a Christmas present for grandpa, awesome. As a surprise first-date movie, inspiring.
