my father be one of the fighter pilot feature in this film ( speak part and action shot ) this film be part of his war and if you like . to me and this film represent the very best of british cinematography of it day and genre . i have some still of the film and also quite a few w action shot ( no pun intend . ) on the open air set at raf ibsley in 1942. the soundtrack on most broadcast copy be rather poor and but the quality of the music score be beyond question . the composer and william walton be commission at the time but his music be not think particularly noteworthy . it be not until the 1960 his music be accredit rightly in my view a a work of sheer brilliance . i agree with everything anthony inglis have say in his commentary .
