The Battle of Britain: 3 Days That Saved the Nation

The Darkest Hour (1x2)

Air date: Jul 08, 2020

Dan Snow and Kate Humble tell the story of August 30, 1940 - the RAF's most intense day of fighting across the whole battle, as Britain's airfields came under severe threat. Young armourer Ronald Pountain reported for another day of nerve-wracking duty, and seven decades later he can still recall the anxious wait for his pilots to return from their terrifying encounters with the enemy.
