A story of one man's indomitable courage and endurance. As a young sports-loving Pilot Officer, Douglas Bader loses both legs in a flying accident. Not only does he overcome his devastating disability; he goes on to become a Battle of Britain ace. Eventually Bader is shot down and imprisoned in Germany.
In 1945 when three hundred aircraft fly in triumph over London led by a solitary Spitfire, the honour of leading the fly-past goes to Douglas Bader. This is the story of one of the few to whom so many owed so much.

A sharp characterisation of a remarkable war hero. This is a personal favourite of mine and highly recommended.

one of the first ww2 films i ever watched what guts and shere bloody determination, although it as been said that mr bader was little bit arogent he had a wright to be look at the job he and my granfathers generation had to do and there is some speculation that he was shot down and not chopped down by a messersmit 109 crashing into him if you like ww2 films this you will like me thinks
