Working script for the 1969 film "Battle of Britain" with signatures from personnel who flew planes for the production and significant individuals who were present during the actual engagement.
The 1969 Battle of Britain film featured an ensemble cast of highly regarded actors who portrayed notable figures from the campaign, such as Laurence Olivier portraying Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding. The film is noted as having attempted to maintain authenticity in its portrayal of the events but also of the Germans, with German speaking actors playing roles of German figures, a departure from typical practice for films in the post-war peirod. Additionally, Luftwaffe general Adolf Galland was a consultant on the film. The script is signed by individuals who flew aircraft for the film and/or were involved in the campaign.
