Review: First of the few

Inspired by the recent discovery of Public Service Broadcasting's Spitfire track:

I decided to give the original film from which it is sampled a go - and I'm glad I did. After a slow propaganda heavy start, it became a compelling story of innovation and one man's dedication to aircraft design.  Niven and Howard are well drawn character-wise, but some of the others are bit thin.

Verdict:  If you can get past the limitations of a wartime propaganda drama, this is a little gem.
