Douglas Bader was a legendary if not iconic figure of World War Two. Views about Bader the man, the fighter leader and Bader the pilot have always been polarised and, to an extent, he has been a controversial figure both during and since the war and, not least of all, through his involvement in the "Big Wing" episode in the history of RAF Fighter Command. This, though, is not a biographical study of the man himself but the examination of an event for which he is arguably most famous - being brought down and taken prisoner of war over France during August 1941. It is a story which has been famously told in his biography Reach for the Sky, and in the film of the same name where his part was portrayed by

Kenneth More.
