The Battle of Britain raged on in September 1940. The sky erupts in chaos. Spitfires and Messerschmitts twist and turn in a struggle to achieve victory. Amidst these tense dogfights, one aircraft moves with uncanny precision.
Eric “Sawn-Off Lockie” Lock spots an opening others miss. His Spitfire flips and dives, defying physics. A Me109 fills his gunsight. Lock’s Browning machine guns roar to life. The enemy spirals earthward, trailing smoke and flame.
There is no time to celebrate. Twenty-seven minutes of intense combat follow. Lock becomes a menacing specter in the sky. Two He111 bombers fall victim to his accurate aim, their crews oblivious to the danger.
Another Me109 crosses his path and lands a burst on Lockie’s aircraft, injuring his leg: a fatal mistake. The British aviator, seeking revenge, outmaneuvers the enemy and shoots it down.
Four trophies in under an hour.
Before Lock heads home, his radio crackles: (QUOTE) “Luftwaffe bomber formation incoming! All available pilots scramble!”
Lock’s ammunition is low, and his fuel is nearly spent. But the call of duty fills his heart. His thumb hovers over the radio button. He will not miss an opportunity to become an ace in a matter of hours.

Why don't the producers of this awful diatribe of unfactual rubbish try to get their research correct…Eric Lock, his name is pronounced LOCK not LOKEE he and his colleagues unlike the producers of this awful narration gave 100% with many paying for their bravery with their lives, try to at least represent them by pronouncing their names correctly instead of being insuch a hurry to earn money from your poor production
Really Mr. Hitler was horrified. Well, I doubt it a bit…….. I'm not going to watch it because of the title
Shurley someone must have looked for him and his aircraft in all these years
But. the He-113 was a fictitious fighter. You mean two He-100's?
His name speaks for him
Yes he’s using physics like no one had thought of at that time. It’s men like this is the reason why we give them the moniker “THE GREATEST GENERATION “.
The Hurricane it was a far better aeroplane with more kills
I worked at Catterick
The irony is that Hitler's scientists not only created the first known fighter jet but laid the foundation for the space race, nuclear ballistic missiles and the cold war.
Britain was never liberated because it was never invaded!
In english, aircraft dive, they don’t dove. Please don’t mangle the English language.
he 113 ???
15.50 liberated !!???? we were never occupied …. and i was going to say never will be but i would be wrong …next couple of decades we will all be fucking muslim ! these brave people who fought against impossable odds and never gave up …they will be spinning in thier graves if they could see how this country is now…….

I only just realised these stories sound just like the stuff from Victor and Valiant comics.
Have you found a supply of vintage 1950's/60's boys comics in someone's attic?
Seems like "Hitler" scared him back….
How did they register those last aerial victories when his gun cameras disappeared with him?
RAF Squadron's are & always have been referred to by number alone with out suffix i.e. 'Forty one Squadron' & never – but never 41st!
They came, they saw, they got the s”’t kicked out of them. We’re an island nation that will never yield to another 👊🏻
He was beamed aboard the Vorlan Imperial Flagship.
The video started with a flight of Stukas. I clicked randomly in the middle of the video to see the subject of the video.
The same flight of Stuka appeared.
14:14 – 'Lockie spotted three He 113s' – You sure about that? The He-113 (Heinkel 113) was a prototype fighter created by the Heinkel company in the mid/late 30's, it never went into full production and it was never used in front line active service by the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain, or indeed any part of WWII.
15:12 – 'The Germans were losing the fight, dispatching most of their fleet to the Eastern front' – There was no 'Eastern Front' in 1940. Operation Barbarossa (the nazi invasion of the Soviet Union didn't take place until 1941).
15:43 – By the end of October, when the British finally managed to expel the Germans from their homeland' – again…wtf? No German troops ever set foot on Britain during WWII. I'm going to assume you meant that the RAF had cleared British skies from Luftwaffe presence…during the daytime at least.
15:52 – 'With the United Kingdom liberated…' – Huh!? Liberated from 'who'?
Get the basics right if you're going to do these videos.
A shame to see this great mans name on this channel which doesn't get any better.
You cannot be commissioned as a sergeant. Sergeant is a non-commissioned rank. He received his commission when promoted to pilot officer, the most junior commissioned rank in the Commonwealth air forces.
I was surprised re the comment that much of the Luftwaffe had been dispatched to the Easter Front. I didn’t know there was one until June 1941, 8 months after the conclusion of the Battle of Britain, when Germany invaded Russia.
This doesn’t make sense…..He113? Hs 27?
0:23 I assure you nothing he did "defied physics". I think you missed a word there, like "seemingly" or "appears to be" or something.
I dont think 10% of the video corresponds to the actual aircraft in the monologue
The He 113 never existed, it was a German propaganda spoof. The aircraft that they used for this ruse was the He 100
Great dramatic purple prose narration.
At 12:00 the narrator notes that a "Ju-88 and Bf-110 fell to his guns and cannons". As far as I am aware, all the Spitfires in the Battle of Britain were armed with eight .303 caliber Browning machine guns. The only Mk 1b cannon armed Spitfires were with 19 Squadron, not 41.
The UK was never liberated we were never invaded. Get the facts right. The Allies liberated Europe

Deeat clip,Dark Docs, thank you.
BTW, sergeants are Not commissioned in British service, it is an enlisted rank 🙂
how did you know it was all him who shot all of them and not other pilots?
The film clips have nothing to do with the narration.
In the Battle Britain the Spitfire on had 14 seconds of ammo to feed the 8 machine guns

Poor selection of dogfighting aircraft including some V1 flying bombs!!!
Dived….
Carry on
Sucked up into a Spaceship
what He-113's!? LOL!
At 14:20, you said “he spotted 3 HE-113’s” he-113 was a fake it was a propaganda scheme
The BF 110 was a heavy fighter at this time, not a fighter-bomber.
