THE ROYAL AIR FORCE AT WAR: THE UNSEEN FILMS 1941-1942 collects together previously unavailable wartime RAF training and information films for the first time. The seven films presented here capture the RAF in the middle years of the war. The immediate threat of invasion was over - but victory looked very far away indeed. The RAF was strengthening itself and preparing for a long and bloody hard-fought campaign. The emphasis is very much on bombers and the role of RAF Bomber Command - Britain's only real way of taking the war directly to Nazi Germany in those long years. THE FIRST THING British Films Ltd made this guide to rudimentary drill and rank recognition in the RAF, stressing the importance to keep up standards in the ranks. RE-ARMING A BOMBER A detailed look at how a Wellington bomber is serviced before a raid, with particular emphasis on the armaments. RAF ACTION British Movietone News' stirring celebration of the fine history and traditions of the RAF, with a parade of the RAF aircraft types in service in 1941. AIR SENSE Gee Films Ltd made this guide to avoiding preventable accidents, aimed at elementary flying training schools. FLY AWAY PETER The story of how RAF aircraft are delivered to overseas postings, featuring Wellingtons, Beaufighters, Hudsons, Blenheims and Liberators. IN THE DRINK This MOI film features a dramatic reconstruction of a Halifax bomber ditching in the sea and looks at the safety equipment carried on board. SKY GIANT Movietone's celebration of the powerful new bomber just coming into service with the RAF - the Avro Lancaster.
