About

This is the ultimate hour by hour account of the events of one single decisive day of battle during World War II - 15 September 1940.

From dawn to dusk of a date Churchill would describe as the ‘crux of the battle’, now celebrated as Battle of Britain Day, 13 Hours that Saved Britain follows the ebb and flow of the aerial battle during those crucial hours. It shows in graphic and dramatic detail the parts played by everyone involved, including those sometimes overlooked and on the ground, who contributed to the eventual, entire victory. It also features vivid eye-witness accounts from today’s personalities and members of the public who were youthful spectators of that day and period.
