Junio de 1940, las autoridades y la población de Gran Bretaña observan con creciente temor como el ejército alemán se prepara para la invasión de las islas en la Francia ocupada. La batalla por Inglaterra comienza en el aire. Los pilotos de la Luftwaffe atacan ferozmente a los aviones de la RAF. En trance de perder la batalla las autoridades británicas aceptan incorporar a filas a un grupo de veteranos pilotos polacos exiliados, entre ellos, Jan Zumbach, Witold Urbanowicz, Miroslaw Feric y Witold "Tolo" Lokuciewski. El menosprecio y la xenofobia inicial de los británicos se disipa en la medida en la que crece la estima que los pilotos polacos van ganando en el campo de batalla. Así es como surgió el Escuadrón 303 Tadeusz Kosciuszko, que consiguió ser la fuerza aérea más efectiva durante la Batalla de Inglaterra. (Divisa Home Video)

The film is forty-nine years younger than Battle of Britain, so the poor execution of air battles is something I just cannot ignore. Somebody forgot to tell the CGI team that German planes were equipped with armor, so there was no way a .303 caliber projectile would pierce through them as if they were made of polystyrene. The portrayal of Josef František was accurate, but I have no idea why his "tripping" over a hedge was replaced by the cliffs of Dover. Just for effect? Anyway, I found other goofs as well, but at least I was pleased with the conclusion, which exposed our loyal allies for what they were. The Poles had the advantage of having been betrayed by them only once. The Czechs were sacrificed first to Hitler and later to Stalin. Today, we no longer have anything to fear, because we belong to NATO, where our freedom is secured by the Germans, Italians, French and British, and I obviously trust them unconditionally...
