Synopsis

To mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force, Ewan and Colin McGregor fly in some of the most iconic aircraft in aviation history. These planes played key roles in aerial combat throughout the RAF's history, from the biplanes used in early dogfights of World War I to the Spitfire of the Battle of Britain, the Lysander, the Vulcan nuclear bomber, and modern aircraft such as the Chinook helicopter and the supersonic Typhoon. The documentary explores the evolution of these remarkable machines and the significant battles they were involved in, while also highlighting the courage and ingenuity of the men and women who have served in the RAF over the past century. During their journey, Ewan and Colin encounter a range of notable individuals connected to the RAF's history.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
