The Battle Of Britain wrote a new chapter in the history of warfare. It was the first time that air forces alone determined the outcome of a military campaign. At stake was the ultimate prize the future freedom of the British Isles and the continuation of the war to victory. For a battle of such importance the actual fighting was done by a remarkably small number of men and the courage and skill of individuals mattered in a way almost unique in the annals of warfare. Yet the battle was also a contest between nations in which millions played a role. Beneath the vapour trails that charted the ebb and flow of battle industry laboured to turn out aircraft that were a means to victory. Radar and communications systems were honed to a new level of sophistication and in the bomb damaged streets armies of volunteers fought the fires cleared away the rubble and manned the air defences. Battlefield offers a unique perspective of the key battles of World War II combining extensive use of archive footage with full colour 3D animation and a compelling and vivid narrative. Detailed portraits of the principal commanders and leaders and profiles of the main weapon systems complete a fascinating analysis of the forces in conflict .
