Fantastic docu on a fighter plane during WW2

This is a must see documentary on the people and the flying machine they perfected to protect and defend Britain during the WW2 German attacks.

The Spitfire fighter plane was both functional and beautiful in form. The citizens of Britain honor this machine and it's pilots for their bravery during one of the most frightful times for their country.

Yes, this is an emotional walk into the memory of those directly involved with the history of this plane. But how can it not be emotional when these brave people got through the nightmare of WW2 by the skin of their teeth.

Well-shot documentary

SPITFIRE is a well-shot documentary looking at the presence of Britain's most iconic plane and its place during the defence of the country in WW2. It mainly consists of talking head footage with various survivors of battles and those who flew the planes at the time; it was so long ago now that some of them have died since release. This isn't really about teaching the viewer anything new, but rather to summon up a mood of danger, heroism, self-sacrifice, courage and bravery, all mixed together. It's appropriately moving and engaging.

more of a tribute

This is a documentary about the famed WWII British fighter plane. It's a reverent portrait of a machine and the people who flew it. As information, it's very lacking. There is little technical understanding. Quite frankly, it doesn't even explain the difference between a Spitfire and a Hurricane other than they're different planes. What is the great innovation in a Spitfire? What is its advantages against its German counterparts? That is a bit about them upgrading the Spitfire to shoot down the buzz bombs. The only great bit is the wind tunnel for the full scale testing. The film goes through a few of the battles but again not in detail. It has a section on the women flying the planes and has a nice bit about one of them. It also an anti-war bent to close it out. This is a perfectly nice documentary but it lacks the details to be truly informative. This is more like a reunion special for those who love the plane.
