One of the best.
Along with 633 Squadron and The Dambusters, this film is probably the best war film ever made.It's not surprising that all these films are British made, without the Hollywood "hero" spin.
The film tells of the indominable spirit of Douglas Bader, and his rise back to health and active service after losing both legs in an air crash.
Semi-autobiographical, it runs pretty close to the true story of a man who inspired many, both during the Second World War and after.
If you've not seen it, don't be put off by the black & white, or the lack of CGI. Simply go and buy or hire it and sit back and enjoy.
