- Synopsis
- In a furious debate in the House of Commons in July 1934, Winston Churchill alarmed his colleagues with the news that Germany's Adolf Hitler was secretly building an air arm that within two more years would be able to overwhelm Britain's Royal Air Force--unless the RAF expanded at once. Over the protests of members who denied there was any real threat of war, Parliament voted to keep the RAF at parity with the growing German air force. This would mean building up the RAF's manpower and replacing its aged fleet of biplanes with faster monoplanes. The task would not be easy.
