The Hardest Day, Battle of Britain - Time-Lapse

This was interesting. An animation depicting the chronological moment by moment events of the Battle of Britain on Aug 18 1940.

Nice find.

The find is nice, but I can't understand why an historic documentary today (or the news seen at the tv...) can't be made without a distressing music in the background. Most boring and annoying,, by my personal point of view.

Ia agree about the music - if it must be used, then choose a more appropriate piece.

 

[syscom3]

Turn off the volume if it is not to your liking?

Then the commentary would be inaudible.

True that!

Didn't notice the music to be honest but then I was listening on my phone. Enjoyed the video so thanks for posting.

Interesting, the Luftwaffe committed their forces piecemeal. Instead of one big raid on one or two targets.

Interesting!

RAF pilots averaged 20 years old? Seriously doubt it. How many 18 y/o chaps would be needed to offset those 22 to 30-something?

It was already noted that pilots were getting past it at 23 and of more use passing on experience training new pilots.
