Ra Ra RAF

Angels One Five (1952)

Directed by George More O'Ferrall this film based on the novel “What Are Your Angels Now” stars John Gregson, Jack Hawkins and Michael Denison. During the Battle of Britain in the Second World War a new and inexperienced pilot that thinks he knows it all joins an existing squadron.

The plot of this film is pretty average stuff and could easily be an RAF recruiting film as particularly the early parts seem most interested in procedure than drama. While this is a fairly simple script it works pretty well and is a fairly inoffensive watch. Obviously this film was made on a small budget and mostly features action from the point of view of those stuck in the control room but with in it's limitations it works pretty well.
