This is a private, non-commercial, non-monetised project. The inexperienced youngest son of the tough Northern Irish Chief Constable of Birmingham signs up to fight in the Battle of Britain. What follows draws the 19-year-old pilot into one of the more exotic dramas of World War 2.

A very nicely put together film that must have taken enormous effort and dedication.
Nice one. Oddly, yesterday afternoon I spent quite a while trying to recall the title of the first video in your 'Fields And Their Secrets' series. I will give "The men who fell from the sky" another watch. Luckily I had clicked that subscribe button, eh?
Nicely done and super interesting. Many thanks.
A very enjoyable and moving watch, thank you, Phillip. Your efforts are very much appreciated, it must have taken you ages to research and make this vlog, so again, I thank you sir.
The poor mother, both sons dead in less than two months. The amount of pain, sorrow and loss that every death brought can never be measured or documented. What a brave and wonderful generation they were. RIP.
