(Synopsis needed)
North American T-6
Acting sometimes as a Messerschmit 109 straffing retreating troops and civil people refugees ...
... or acting as Junkers Ju 87 Stuka over the beaches.
Hispano Aviación HA-1112-M1L
Buchons -late Messerschmitt Bf 109's Spanish derivative- played the Bf 109's opposition (!), the Hawker Hurricane.
Supermarine Spitfire
Well-known archive footage seen as an overlay.
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Military Fixed-Wing).
Unidentified Aircraft
British types acting as Luftwaffe fighters.
Such windshield is shared by Miles Master and Miles Martinet. Very surprising as despite built by thousands, these types were no longer in use and no surviving aircraft is known. Despite seen 'in flight', no evidence of that : the closeup avoids wings, engine and propeller. If really such aircraft, a heavy work to reshape the greenhouse and fairing was done to convert this two seat into a single seat fighter.
Note the I./JG 27 emblem on the cowling ... not yet existing during the summer 1940 despite the unit really took part in the fighting in the early stages of the Battle of Britain !
With a Supermarine Spitfire in the background.
Seen again later with different markings (this Puma (?) emblem is close to a Hungarian one)
Note that some emblem are real like the 2/JG 3 or the one of Kampfgeschwader 26 seen on a bomber) :
Fictional Bomber
English night bombing of Berlin. The machine gun was usually over the sight ...
Vickers Wellington
Vickers Wellington bomb bay...
Heinkel He 111
... but when the same crew is dropping bombs, we see a Heinkel He 111 !
Short S.29 Stirling
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Military Fixed-Wing).
Fictional Aircraft
Could be a Vickers Wellington but several points are uncorrect.
Hispano Aviación HA-1112-M1L
Still acting as RAF fighters ... during the night raid (no escort fighter during such mission, especially in 1940 !).
Various code seen on several Buchons during takeoff : RF°T and RF°L and RF°H and RF°N ...
RF was the RAF squadron code used from August 1940 to April 1945 by No. 303 (Polish) Squadron.
CASA 2.111
Among the Lufwaffe raid, if fighters are from British types, the bombers are these Spanish derivatives of the German Heinkel He 111, used in several other movies about the Battle of Britain (IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Military Fixed-Wing)).
Supermarine Spitfire Mk V
Supermarine Spitfire Mk II

Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Military Fixed-Wing).
