A&E > Movie: Battle of Britain

It's on Turner Classic Movies right now. Brilliantly-filmed action movie starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine as Spitfire pilots. Anyone who enjoys the fighter scenes in Black Sheep Squadron should go ga-ga over this.

LATER: Steven Den Beste has a fascinating history of William Foxley, the man in the movie whose face has been disfigured by a fire in his airplane. The disfigurement wasn't makeup. Foxley was burned when the bomber he served on was shot down.
