Benjamin Fisz. The film documents the events of the Battle of Britain. The film drew many respected British actors to accept roles as key figures of the battle, including Laurence Olivier as Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, Trevor Howard as Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, and Patrick Wymark as Air Vice-Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, Air Officer commanding No. 12 Group RAF. It also starred Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer and Robert Shaw as Squadron Leaders. The script by James Kennaway and Wilfred Greatorex was based on the book The Narrow Margin by Derek Wood and Derek Dempster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film endeavoured to be an accurate account of the Battle of Britain, when in the summer and autumn of 1940 the British RAF inflicted a strategic defeat on the Luftwaffe and so ensured the cancellation of Operation Sea Lion – Adolf Hitler's plan to invade Britain. The film is notable for its spectacular flying sequences. It was on a far larger scale than had been seen on film before and this made the film's production very expensive.\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be sent in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ section for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206288318851,"sku":"L825C","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.3378696837_58kr.jpg?v=1768973090","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1969-battle-of-britain-poster-64364","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
