Heroes of the Skies (Box Set)

Film Description

A collection of three classic British War Films that concentrate on the war in the air. Features Angels One Five (O'Ferrall, 1952), The Dam Busters (Anderson, 1954) and Aces High (Gold, 1976).

Angels One Five tried to show the reality of service life, with its mixture of heroism, pragmatism and fear as a new man comes to Fighter Command HQ during the Battle of Britain.

The Dam Busters is the story of Dr Barnes Wallis's bouncing bomb and the training of specialised RAF teams to use it to destroy the Ruhr dams in 1943. A true-life drama, it is heightened with newsreel footage of the actual raid.

Aces High is an intense drama of the often brief lives of fighter pilots in World War I, mixing the excitement of aerial battles with the reality of loss.
