Battle of Britain
In the last episode in this series, Dan Snow experiences for himself how the Battle of Britain was fought at the limits of human endurance when he takes flight in a high performance stunt plane. Recreating the spiralling turns of a dogfight, he feels the extraordinary side-effects of the high G forces felt by pilots in this critical battle of Second World War.
Using revolutionary graphics, Peter Snow gives a blow-by-blow account of the pivotal moments of the battle and how the RAF held off the might of the German Luftwaffe during the summer of 1940. The future of the entire country was at stake in this, the first great air battle in history.

Haven't seen any previews but we did spend a couple of days filming the 'stunt plane' part of this earlier this year, where Dan Snow was blacked out to camera - should be interesting!
