Dowding and his staff deserved much more recognition than they got. He was a caring and decent man , rare in leaders. He saved a country and many pilots lives with his command.

Even the footage that didn't make it into Battle Of Britain is spectacular.

After watching this documentary, I'm so grateful that my most favorite movie of all time `The Battle of Britain` gave Air Chief Marshal Dowding the proper recognition. Respect.

I don't have words enough to do justice for my admiration for this man. I first learned of him through Korda's 'On Wings Like Eagles' and have since been trying to learn as much as I can about him. This man was a visionary! A rebel, an innovator, a master strategist. If it weren't for Sir Hugh Dowding, the Battle of Britain might have ended much differently. <br>So, naturally, his peers punished him. <br>The only worse sin you can commit in any hierarchy than disagreeing with your superiors, is being proven right. <br>RIP, Sir Hugh Dowding. Here's one Yank that will never forget what this whole world owes you.

This is the MOST under-recognized commander in the WWII.

Politics, ego, and self-aggrandizement have no place in combat operations. Dowding, bless his soul, was a true Brit and patriot.

Thanks to YouTube, Dowding is finally getting the credit he so richly deserves.

I've admired Dowding and Park for 50 years. This was a fantastic programs, in BBC's understated way.

HEAR HEAR! Dowding's superb generalship was a major winning factor in the Battle. Also his refusal to Churchill's demand earlier to send Spitfires to France allowed scarce resources to be saved to meet the Luftwaffe's onslaught on Britain. A great man deserving full recognition for his part in this critical battle.

As an American, I have great respect for the men and women that risked their lives in defense of their country.
