The fourth part of the Band of Brothers series pays
tribute to Royal Air Force and Royal Navy fighter pilots of WWII.

of 234 Squadron, 10 Group's top scoring squadron, returning to
St. Eval after intercepting heavy raids on south coast ports
during the heaviest fighting, in September 1940.
St. Michael's Mount, the castle built on the site of a 14th Century
monastery to defend Britain's shores from earlier enemies, provides
a symbolic backdrop as once again a band of brothers is called
upon to defend their Sceptred Isle.
