3 out of 5 stars Cheating the customer?.......2005-01-07

Beware of the misleading title! This DVD narrates the history of the Royal Air Force from World War I to the present. The 1940 crucial "Battle of Britain" is evoqued only during a few minutes of this 94 minutes feature. Once you get over your initial disappointment, it's a good documentary. It shows interesting footage of the fighters and bombers used by the R.A.F. through the years. Any plane-lover will enjoy that. But I do feel a bit cheated. This DVD was released in 2000, the year of the 60th anniversary of the "Battle of Britain". I guess it explains the misleading title. The company wanted to take advantage of the celebration of that historical event.

By looking at the cover of this DVD you are led to believe that this is the story of the Battle of Britain. Not so - this is the story of the Royal Air Force from it's beginnings in World World I to the present. About ten minutes is devoted to the Battle of Britain. While I found the DVD to be informative I found the title misleading since I was looking for a history of the Battle of Britain on DVD.
