The "Battle By Air Movie Collection" includes "Battle Of Britain", "Twelve O'Clock High" and "The Blue Max". "Battle Of Britain" (Widescreen): Featuring a "big stellar cast" (Variety), including Michael Caine, Trevor Howard, Laurence Olivier, Christopher Plummer, Michael Redgrave, Robert Shaw, Susannah York and Edward Fox, "Battle Of Britain" is a spectacular retelling of a true story that shows courage at its inspiring best. Few defining moments can change the outcome of war. But when the outnumbered Royal Air Force defied insurmountable odds in engaging the German Luftwaffe, they may well have altered the course of history. "Twelve O'Clock High" (Full Frame): This gritty World War II action drama starring Gregory Peck, Oscar winner Dean Jagger, Hugh Marlow, Gary Merrill and Millard Mitchell is seen as one of the most realistic portrayals of the heroics and perils of war. Convinced an Air Force commander is at the breaking point, Brigadier General Savage (Peck) takes over his struggling bomber group. At first resentful and rebellious, the flyers gradually change as Savage guides them to amazing feats. But the stress of command soon takes its toll and the weary general reaches his own breaking point. Authentic aerial battle footage and numerous acclaimed performance make "Twelve O'Clock High" a credible, stirring tale of courage and sacrifice. "The Blue Max" (Widescreen): James Mason, George Pepper and Ursula Andress highlight this stirring drama set in Germany during the close of World War I. Bruno Stachel (Peppard) a peasant promoted into the elite German air force, finds himself battling both the enemy in the sky and the prejudices of his higher-born fellow flyer. To overcome this stigma, Stachel proves he will go to any length - honorably, to win his country's most coveted air medal, "Blue Max." But he soon learns the price he must pay for being proclaimed a hero in this highly acclaimed film with its uncompromising story and spectacular flying sequences.
