In June 1940 the Second World War had seen Hitler conquer most of Europe before turning his attention to Britain, with plans for a sea borne invasion of our coastline.

But first he had to gain control of the airspace over the English Channel and so, on the 10th of July 1940, the Battle of Britain began and RAF pilots were called upon to defend our skies. Just 600 RAF fighters, with an average age of just 22, faced 4000 German bombers.

Now, seventy years later, in this special documentary for ITV1, actor Sir David Jason is taking a journey back to 1940 to find out how Britain managed to pull off a most unlikely and remarkable victory.
