Heinkel He-111 medium range bombers
of KG53 Legion Condor cross the Channel coast. The yellow-nosed
Messerschmitt 109 fighters of JG26, led by their legendary general,
Adolph Galland, sweep through the bomber formation. The Luftwaffe
crews are on their way to meet the Royal Air Force during the
third and last phase of the
Battle of Britain, that epic fight which altered the course of
World War II.
