The Britsh never could make films like that; their's were fictional and done
in studios.
Not so.... "Night Bombers" is a colour film made in 1944 - it is a day in the life of RAF Hemswell and gives lots of really good footage not only about the aircrew and the build up to the raid but also about the engineering day to day tasks etc. Includes footage of FIDO as a bit of a bonus. The featured crew have ficticious names, but are real non-the less.
