Famous Aircraft of World War 2: Spitfire / Lancaster 2 x DVD set

Spitfire
With the courage and skill of fighter aces like Johnnie Johnson, “Sailor” Malan and Bobby Tuck, the Supermarine Spitfire helped change the course of the war in favour of the Allies. The only match for the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt BF109, the Spitfire played a major role in the success of the Battle of Britain. Combining dramatic wartime film with colour footage of surviving Spitfires in flight, this is the definitive documentary of a thoroughbred fighter.

Lancaster
As RAF Bomber Command took the war to the enemy under Air Chief Marshall Arthur Harris, the four-engined Avro Lancaster reigned supreme, replacing the rugged, reliable Wellington in laying waste the German cities by night. This most successful of all World War II “heavies” was confirmed as an aviation legend. With recent colour film of “City of Lincoln”, the RAF's last airworthy Lancaster, among the wartime footage, this is the Lancaster's dramatic story.
