THE GREAT MITCHELL
We are in the 20th century from the Christian era.
But the dark threat of medieval tyranny...
...has risen again head in Germany...
... and it has spread over the face of Europe.
Austria has disappeared.
Czechoslovakia has been taken over.
Poland has been annihilated.
Denmark has been occupied.
Norway has been invaded.
Holland has fallen.
Belgium has fallen.
France has been occupied.
France has fallen.
The situation is serious, England his back is against the wall.
The army returns with Dunkirk difficulties.
All they have left is the courage to fight.
Britain stands alone and isolated...
...surrounded by an enemy ruthless and cruel.
On this side of the Atlantic we watched with concern.
Will Britain Resist the invasion?
Among the connoisseurs there are many who doubt it...
... and they believe it possible that the great Empire be defeated.
It's going to be a fateful summer for the whole world.
This is Germany speaking, Germany speaking.
This is Germany speaking.
The Führer has said:
... "I will annihilate the peoples and the cities...
...Britain is no longer an island.
Soon to be Camp for my soldiers.
I will enter Buckingham Palace leading my army in August".
Doctor Goebbels has said:
... "The time has come.
England will be erased of history.
It will all be over in a few weeks.
A great empire ever had met his end...
...in such an absurd melodrama, lacking any greatness".
Marshal Goering has stated:
... "The End of Gran Britain is coming.
In a few days London it will cease to be a city.
It will be devastated by the mighty Luftwaffe...
... and German soldiers will occupy a big place in history.
We will parade in Whitehall in August".
"What happened in France doesn't affect at all...
... faith and determination of the British.
We have become the only armed paladins...
... who champion the cause of the free world.
We will do everything possible to deserve...
... that great honor.
We will defend our island.
And with the Empire British covering us...
...we will fight.
We will be invincible until liberate humanity...
...of Hitler's curse".
The Fate of the British one last card is played.
The poor and old-fashioned ones British Isles...
...will not be able to cope with our bombers, submarines...
... battleships and batteries located on the coast of the English Channel.
The destruction of their illusions...
... are about to be carried out.
DAY ZERO SEPTEMBER 15, 1940
Bombardment Group 4: 50 aircraft.
Bombardment Group 5: 40 aircraft.

seems to come straight towards us.
Attention please. Attention please.
Air raid, air raid.
Enemy planes will They approach from the southeast.
All staff not be maintenance...
...take cover.
I repeat, all the staff other than maintenance...
...take cover.
Come on, put on your helmet.
Air alarm, air alarm.
Enemy aircraft approaching.
Sir, remember.
Our fighters too They've taken off, sir.
Yes, to order.
Hey Bernie, how's it going?
I've shot down an 88.
Good job, boy.
Did you see him, George? we fight face to face, I gave him quite a scare.
You hit him full on the nose.
Mark, any luck?
Yeah I hit a 110, it plummeted engulfed in flames and exploded.
I can take them all down for you, Robbie.
You won't believe you'll do it alone right willy?
Okay, I'll leave you half.
What have you two done?
I hit the rudder to my Heinkel and shot him down.
Your Heinkel?
Well, our Heinkel.
And the commander?
I think he hasn't landed yet.
Is anyone else missing?
I saw one go down, I think it was Titch.
No, Titch is fine. He was mine.
He gave her in the deposit.
Our squadron leader is there.
The engine is failing.
He's going to try to rise again.
Alright?
Hurry up.
He is already.
I'll be fine, sir, it's the ankle.
Get up there.
I want another plane, not an ambulance.
We've knocked some down but there are still many.
One moment, sir.
When has the 654 landed?
Half an hour ago, sir.
The 654 wears half ground time, sir.
Well, they'll have to go out again.
Squadron 654, take off immediately.
There they go, in the usual rush.
Well good luck they will need it.
You don't notice that you are tired until you feel
Here comes the commander from the base.
What will happen now?
Don't get up. - Is the squad leader injured?
It's little, something on the ankle, I think.
They have had very good hunting this afternoon
Yes, six takedowns. - Six?
They already have twenty.
A field trip.
Also for the Germans.
Where is Titch?
Jones watched as he fell into the water, but he was able to get out of the apparatus.
Does he know how to swim?
He must have seen you in Brighton last year.
I missed that party.
They're Spitfire, by the way. you haven't seen any.
I can't see one in the air without admiring it.
You like them, right?
I can't help it, at After all, it's my thing.
What the hell are you talking about? I thought you were an artist.
That's what I mean.
I agree with Rembrandt, they are a work of art.
Don't be surprised They were designed by an artist.
Are you referring to Mitchell, sir?
Yeah.
R.J. Mitchell.
He was a magician.
He is right, a magician.
He is very nice and he lives in inverness.
You are wrong, he is in Canada.
Nonsense, he works at Vickers.
I have heard that he is dead.
Anyway, he made it up.
He developed the idea in two hours.
That?
In two hours, at a golf club.
Right sir?
No, it wasn't like that.
It wasn't that easy.
Yes, many things happened until that miracle became a reality.
It all started a long time ago.
It must have been in 1922.
Yes, it was in 1922.
Do you fancy another sandwich?
No, thanks.
Why not?
You put ants on them.
i thought you were gone forever. What did you do?
Thought.
Big ideas?
magnificent.
Tell me about them.
the birds fly much better than us.
Do not tell me.
Yes. But they carry millions of years doing it.
We must learn from they do want to fly well.
Fast, always faster.
The world gets smaller places are coming...
...and the people on the other side of the planet are no longer strangers...
...but neighbors.
"They are not strangers but neighbors."
I like it.
Here, take a look at them.
Watch them glide and spin.
Notice.
And all in one.
Wings, body and tail in one piece.
When we try...
...we build something rigid tied with ropes and wires.
You'll see, someday...
...I will build an airplane that it will be just like a bird.
But if it is just like a bird.
What a strange machine.
What is this?
Supermarine, aircraft factory...
...invite the gentlemen Mitchell to lunch.
Honey, you haven't told me anything.
You don't want to go, do you?
And good?
Apparently they want Give a nice speech.
Look how stupid you are.
I hate speeches, don't you?
If you ask, apechugad with the consequences.
Well, if this amazing seaplane How well have you built...
...manages to stay in the air...
...will have the honor of represent Great Britain...
...in the 1922 Schneider trophy.
This contest is possibly air event...
...most important in the world.
Last year they won the race our Italian friends.
If they win it for the third time, they will keep it forever.
Of course we are not willing to let it.
Garibaldi will not take this time the prize.
And now let's toast to the guys who today represent...
...to our company in Naples.
Hurry up or we won't make it to presentation of the race
I wonder if I they will let me build my plane.
Why don't you ask today?
I will do that.
If we win, I will.
I must do it.
We have news.
Ladies and gentlemen, our plane has won the Schneider race...
... in record time.
Baby, do you mean what have we won?
Yes, it seems so.
Come on.
She talks to Commander Bride.
Now?
Take advantage of the fact that he is in a good mood.
We have won the race.
Yeah.
It is wonderful, anything can happen.
This is your opportunity.
Why not?
Yes, why not?
Good luck.
Well done, Mr. Mitchell. - Thank you.
You missed the party, sir.
Congratulations, Mr. Mitchell. - Thank you.
Well done, Mitch.
Congratulations.
Where was she? We have been searching.
I was a little busy, Mr. Higgins.
Well we got it.
Yes. What was the speed?
220 kilometers per hour. That will open many doors for everyone.
Yes, you see, I was hoping that... - Congratulations, gentlemen.
Thank you.
We want to talk to you. - Well, I...
We were impressed by your I work at the Sea Lion.
How glad I am.
He has a talent for design.
Thank you. I would like to teach you...
The only thing that is missing it's some experience.
It has an easy fix.
Yes it does. - Good luck next year.
We take you to the workshop assembly for two years.
To the assembly shop?
There you will get experience. - However, I...
Why don't the boys drink? Come on, there's a drink for everyone.
Wait, Mr. Higgins, I... - Come on, Mitchell, have a drink.
And good?
They send me two years to the assembly shop.
Anyway, why don't we take a drink with the boys?
Yeah come on.
So, for now...
... what happened put an end to Mitchell's strange ideas.
THE INTERNATIONAL RACE SCHNEIDER'S SEAPLANE
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1923
A year passed and Mitchell He went back to the drawing board.
he kept designing the same seaplanes.
And he kept dreaming of the future.
It was at that time that a somewhat disturbing influence...
... entered Mitchell's life.
Mr. Mitchell? -How did he say?
Mr. Mitchell? - Do you have an appointment?
No.
So she can't see him.
It's wonderful how she does it.
Not a single note is missing.
I also have one but I play by ear.
Forward.
She can't stand there blabbering.
I am very busy.
If you wish to see Mr. Mitchell, you should write to him. Good morning.
But what does he do?
Would you like to do something for me?
Tiptoe into the office Mitchell and whisper a word to him.
crisp. - Crisp?
Yes, exactly, just Crisp.
Then look at his face, you will be surprised.
Excuse me, Mr. Mitchell...
...does the word Crisp mean anything to you?
crisp.
How are you?
No reaction.
None? - None.
In that case, I'll leave.
Good morning.
Finally, I have it, make me two copies as quickly as possible.
Who are you?
Well the truth is...
Can I do something for you?
I am looking for a job.
What kind of job? - I don't know, I would do anything.
Haven't we met somewhere?
I'm crisp.
Are you crisp?
Wow, you're Crisp.
But what are you doing here? You were waiting for me?
Why didn't she say that Crisp was there?
Come on in, Crisp, let's go.
crisp.
I present to you Geoffrey Crisp.
Mr. Jordan, Mr. Reynolds.
We went to school together.
Wow, you've changed. - Well, not you.
If it hurts.
That's fine, do you design airplanes?
I try. What have you done?
Lots of things, some a little rare. I have flown a bit.
Do you want a cigarette? - No, thanks.
You flew in the war, I guess.
Yes, but only at the end.
Really?
You were lucky they didn't kill you.
They tried. It was fun.
I'm glad you liked it.
When it was over they didn't have I work for a pilot...
...so I had to quit. - Did you leave it?
Well, actually I got fired.
Bad luck.
I was able to work as a test pilot. - Oh really?
Until there were no planes to test and I entered a bicycle workshop.
Then I sold soap.
You'd be surprised how many people don't use it.
Then I went into a factory of cars, but we were thousands.
he found companions competing for the same position.
I know, it's not nice.
No.
Well, I keep looking.
I will not bother you? - Annoy me? No.
Test pilot, right?
The truth is that I came to see you armed With all my courage, I assure you...
...until that dragon yours tried to bite me.
Did she try to bite you?
Yeah she tried to bite me and then she rang a bell.
No. - Really.
Why, Miss Harper, I'm surprised.
Thank you.
He has called his wife to know if he will work late...
...or if she will have dinner at home.
At home and I will bring a guest.
You. - I?
Yes, you will come to dinner.
That's great.
But there is a small detail.
She had met a friend.
Well, come too.
That she come?
Yeah, we'd love to meet her, seriously.
I have always said that a smile a day keeps one healthy.
So when she smiled at me Geoffrey, what was she going to do?
I don't normally smile back...
...but Geoffrey is different, no, honey?
I would say not...
I immediately saw that she had a noble face.
Well I...
Yes you have.
Don't talk too much.
Do you fancy a drink?
Yes, it's a great idea.
What are your puppies called?
This is Napoleon and this is Josefina.
Great.
Sorry.
Mitch, I'm looking forward to hearing about the seaplane you have in hand.
And I'm looking forward to telling you.
You see, Jeff, I think I've figured out the real secret of flying.
The secret of the birds.
I know I'm not the one first to believe...
...but I think I've figured it out. - Go on.
You see, what I have conceived it is something very different.
Something that does not carry struts or wires.
because the wings form the base structure.
Everything is united in one body.
You understand me?
Look.
Here.
This is what we have today the last design of 1924.
I'll draw you what I'm looking for.
The wings.
The fuselage.
And that's it.
The fastening is missing.
With wheels or floats, according to the case.
And in one piece.
i thought i knew something About airplanes, but...
But what?
He is revolutionary.
The airplane problem of racing is space.
You must build it around of the one who is going to pilot it.
I have managed to place the man, but not the fuel.
And where will you put it?
On the floats. - On the floats?
It will feed the engine by pressure.
You can not do it. - Why not?
No one has put the fuel there.
So far, but they will.
I'm getting rid of the front radiator...
...with a new system of refrigeration...
...I will make the liquid pass in front of the wings...
...so the passage of air will cool it down.
If it's so simple, why? Has anyone thought of it?
Someone thought of it, me.
Anyway...
...perhaps it will never be done.
And if we did no one would want to drive it.
I do.
Really? - At least once.
Are you serious? Done deal.
If I get it to fly you will be the pilot.
Good. - Here you go.
They make you think, don't they?
You don't have to think too much.
Well, as my husband says...
...the one that leaves and returns flying, he will live to fly again.
Who says that?
My husband.
Didn't you know she was married, honey?
congratulations
Thank you.
The cup.
Commander Bride called.
There's a council meeting wants you to go
Wants me to go?
Will we compete in the Schneider? - It's possible.
You may want to see my plans.
It sure is.
I bet yes. - I bet too.
If it is built, you will be the pilot. - I agree.
Finally a job.
Come here.
Watch this.
It's magnificent.
Mitch, this is the future.
We do not like it.
This is not what we want.
What we're looking for is a plane.
Like this.
It is a proven and guaranteed design.
Although he lost last year.
But this...
...looks like a fucking bird in boots.
The birds fly well mr higgins.
It is not within your competence.
I assure you that if you try, will have a tremendous slip.
Although you will not be the only one.
well that's great have a job in your pocket.
I assure you that the plane will excite them.
Really, Mitchell, it's too revolutionary.
Apart from the cost of the device.
we would need machinery and a new plant.
that we risk our last penny...
...It all comes down to this.
go against fate supporting a gossip...
...that won't even fly. - Totally agree.
Dear friend, don't think so We recognize your great ability.
An extraordinary ability.
Although I would say more I would use the word genius...
...if it doesn't bother us a little to all of us.
no english likes call him a genius
A terrible word.
However, he will admit that we know the industry.
We want a plane like the Sea Lion, although improved.
And we believe that you can do it.
I can give you a winning plane. - Well, that's how you talk.
But it has to be mine.
Are you implying that if not gets away with it won't it?
I can provide you with a winner.
If they don't trust me to do what I think I'm capable of...
...I can't agree to do what I know I am not capable of.
Aren't you rushing?
Deciding something like that in two minutes... - Two minutes?
Two years of hard work.
I can understand that after two years is disappointed...
...for not achieving his goal. - It's not about achieving my goal.
He has thought like this for two years...
...and now it's coming true.
The question is whether they will accept or not.
His acting is truly intolerable.
Also, there's more aircraft designers.
Of course, I already know.
And there is a good remedy for that.
Do you mean you resign?
It's what I want to say.
Well, in that case... - In that case, there is no more to say.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
May I, Mr. Sinclair?
The job hasn't lasted long.
Well, gentlemen, as a manager I have to congratulate them...
...for losing the best country designer.
Hi Mitch.
Hi Jeff.
A nice surprise.
Hello darling.
I'm sorry to be late, I was late in the city.
Is it hot in London?
Awful.
Thank you.
Any luck?
No, I'm afraid not.
Not even in Brown?
No, not in Wilcox. In none of the big ones.
What a bunch of idiots.
Let's forget that now.
At least for tonight.
Do you like stew?
I love it.
It is what I have.
Do you know anything about Wimbledon?
I haven't read the newspaper...
...but I think Tilden It's rocking as always.
You certainly have a beautiful home.
Yes, but it will have to be left.
come on you did what did you have to do.
Also, if you don't mind, I have decided to stay with you.
If we unite We will beat the whole world.
You are the brain and I am the hands how about we partner up?
I think you're taking a big risk, Jeff.
I tried to get you a job and I haven't even kept mine.
Don't worry, I'm used to it.
It's harder on you and Diana.
Yes, you should talk to her.
Yeah.
Wait here.
Hello boy.
Jeff, Jeff.
i think i just say something extraordinary
Really? - Yeah.
Do you understand his language?
Yes, it's very easy. - Listen.
Do you mind repeating it?
What happens?
He wants to eat?
No, he says that he wants you change his diapers.
Yes, come here, son.
Let's go up.
Jeff, hold on for a minute, will you?
I have to talk to Diana. - Yeah.
I can help?
Yes of course.
She chops the parsley.
Good.
Did you show them the plans?
Did they look at them?
Barely.
They just made a face.
It seemed to bother them and they got rid of me right away.
Don't be impatient, honey.
Someone will want your prototype.
Unfortunately not anymore there is someone to teach it to.
Does something burn?
It's the stew.
You see, Diana, I was brilliant on advice.
You would have been proud.
"Well, sir, the question is whether they will accept or not.
I can provide you with a winner.
But it must be my plane."
It sounded better a week ago.
Anyway, I'm glad that you did it.
Oh really?
I think we're done Same situation as Jeff Crisp.
That is, among the unemployed.
But you're not standing, what's up with the parsley? What are you waiting for?
Yes, but it is not very profitable.
Think about the rent, in you, in the child.
He's fine.
I'm sure, he is a very smart boy. He grows two centimeters a week.
Do not worry honey, find another job...
...even if I don't have to do with airplanes
Yeah...
...I think I'll call Bride...
...and I will ask you to reinstate me.
Don't do it for me or the child.
We can resist years.
It has nothing to do with you.
When I think of a job that It has nothing to do with airplanes...
...I have the feeling of that I renounce my destiny.
Maybe it doesn't make sense but I firmly believe it.
It's like I'm acting wrong.
What nonsense.
I've only told you.
A commander I don't know his name he wants to talk to you on the phone.
You mean Commander Bride?
Well I do not know.
Due to rheumatism no longer I hear as well as before.
say?
Commander Bride?
Yes, I'm Mitchell.
Yeah.
Well, coincidentally I would like...
Do not tell her. - I didn't say anything.
I haven't heard you.
Yeah.
When?
Yeah, I think I'll be able to get close.
Yeah.
Alright.
Good night. Bye bye.
Will come tomorrow.
I'm still of the opinion that he won't fly.
I think it's really crazy.
I agree.
It will be good for all of us get a little crazy...
...because we will build that plane.
What he proposes is an absurd undertaking.
Your idea is baseless.
I still say it won't fly.
Okay, America, here we come.
INTERNATIONAL CAREER SCHNEIDER'S SEAPLANES
OCTOBER 26, 1925
Ladies and gentlemen, let's see now...
...to the North American team in this race...
...between Italy, Great Britain and the United States.
Lieutenant Doolittle...
...just took off and makes the first turn.
You can see a little point at the end of the bay.
Your device flies at high speed.
At the moment, directs towards us.
I remind you that the trophy remain in the United States.
Great Britain won it two years ago.
North America challenges the entire world...
... with admirable engineering.
What a display, friends, what a show.
Jimmy Doolittle flies to incredible speed.
Amazing speed.
Great news, Jimmy Doolittle and his Curtiss biplane...
...they have finished the first lap with a speed of 400 km/h.
It's going to be hard to beat. - And that you say it.
This pilot returned to the competition this year.
Next to take off is the English monoplane Supermarine...
...700 horsepower, piloted by Geoffrey Crisp.
This plane has caused the biggest controversy...
... throughout the history of aviation.
There it is.
Slides to the starting line.
Hearing ladies and gentlemen, I wish they could see it.
It's revolutionary.
It looks like a seagull with its wings spread.
As if built in one piece.
Now take off.
Accelerates when sounding boot shot.
Glides flush with water with the engine at full power.
Start to climb slowly but safely.
Your appearance is magnificent, but will it hold?
You made a wonderful takeoff.
The British Supermarine is in the air and heading this way.
It doesn't look anything like what I we have seen so far.
The pilot has something special in the hands...
...but he knows how to handle it.
Flies as if it were made for heaven...
... and gives the impression of that has been flying for centuries.
The Supermarine flies beautifully.
Can you see him?
she's doing an exhibition spectacular.
Something's wrong, he's having trouble.
It plummets. Come on, buddy, get up.
Jeff!
It wasn't the plane's fault, Mitch.
It was me.
Suddenly everything went black.
Don't worry Jeff.
They will build it again, right?
Of course.
But now don't think about it.
I'm sorry, Mr. Mitchell, the visit is over.
Good.
Well, bye, Jeff.
See you later.
So long, Mitch.
Who are you?
I'm taking over for Sister Ginsberg.
What's her name, sister?
Nurse Kennedy.
And your phone number?
Under the tongue, please.
I'm sorry, but you must go.
Yeah.
Goodbye friend.
I leave you in good hands.
I have to keep him calm.
Although maybe that's it a problem, don't you think?
Not with me.
Well, take care of him, it's a very valuable man.
Don't worry, Mitch, something tells me that I will recover very soon.
It seemed that the revolutionary Mitchell's career...
...had sunk with the curious of him machine. But it was not to be.
Her strange ideas of him they began to sink in.
They gave him another chance.
In 1927, a British team he was sent to Venice.
The air forces participated.
High-speed flight He excited everyone.
That's how I got in back on topic.
In the name of our Grand Duce...
...we welcome you to the inspiring city of Venice.
Silence everyone.
It's a telegram from the Duce.
He sends it in English, it's a great honor.
Thank you.
Greetings to our English friends.
the sky of venice will witness an epic duel.
The victory of the Italian pilots...
...it will be dawn of the new fascist empire.
Mussolini.
Dear friend, we have a saying in Italy.
"Il Duce a semper ragione".
The Duce is always right.
When he's so sure...
...he means we can't lose.
Welcome.
We must do something about it. - As?
I must show you my telegram.
Don't worry, later.
Now we are going to take a terrific lunch.
Come with me.
What will have happened to Jeff? -He was here a moment ago.
Excuse me, are you familiar of the Mona Lisa?
I don't speak English.
Thank you so much. Accept these flowers.
Thank my Lord.
Shall we have dinner tonight?
Have dinner?
Please?
please we have a gondola and the moon.
Jeff.
There will be a wonderful moon.
Jeff.
Can't you see I'm busy? What do you want?
I wanted to tell you that the race will be on the 14th.
Hey, I've quit smoking and drinking.
The race will be on the 14th and we have to win.
Okay, maybe you're right.
See you after the race?
Please? - Yes please.
Jeff.
Leave me alone, can't you see that I have it almost in the boat?
I hope the weather doesn't change tomorrow.
She will not.
Do not worry honey.
I am not worried.
I notice you nervous.
Nonsense, I'm not nervous.
Come here.
When are we going to visit the Palace of the Doges?
You do not know how much I'm sorry...
...we'll go after the race, day after tomorrow.
It all depends on that, right?
All.
I hope it goes well.
Go to sleep.
Come you too.
say?
Yeah.
Yes Mac.
As?
White metal?
Where, in the filter?
Heavens.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Yes right now.
But honey, it's after midnight.
It's a fault.
I have to fix it.
God bless you.
If it's running, I would have totally messed up.
Yeah.
What do we do?
We can't put a New engine at this point.
We can only do one thing.
Put a piston and cylinder block.
A new block? - Yeah.
It is impossible.
So we will continue in the race.
How much do we have left?
Seven hours.
Seven hours. Will we make it, Bob?
Well, at least we'll try.
Okay, let's get to work. - Come on.
Mitch...
...a cup of tea will make you new.
It's a blessing. - Yeah.
I think now everything will be fine.
Yes I hope so.
To your health, Mac. - Cheers, Mitch.
Good morning.
Have the pilots arrived?
They're about to.
And the coffee pot? - Good.
We've had a problem but it's already fixed.
And time accompanies.
Great, the breeze is perfect.
What is the flight order? - Let's see...
...first Popelandini will come out...
...then Williamson will do it...
...Capelli, Morrison in the Supermarine, Molinari...
...of Sati and finally Crisp with the S5.
Del Sati worries me.
I'm glad Crisp is coming out later, so we can see what happens.
Mister. - Good morning.
What's up, Mitch? - Hi Jeff.
Have you rested?
Yes, I am in shape. - Good.
You'll see, I'll give you some advice.
You'll have to keep up the speed takeoff to the minimum possible.
Try to keep the temperature of water below 95.
And above all you must try not exceed the allowed revolutions.
So you won't have a problem.
I think that's all.
I'm ready.
We are going to beat the Italians. Go ahead guys.
Mitch, between us...
...what speed do you expect it to get?
Well, between us, 550.
550? We are in 1927, not 1977.
So let's say 500.
Well, I'll settle for that.
SCHNEIDER CUP VENICE, SEPTEMBER 27, 1927
CAREER ABANDONMENT
It's a strange race it seems that no one is able to finish it.
Watch Molinari, he will win.
Here it comes.
CAREER ABANDONMENT

Relax, Bob. - Don't worry.
All prepared? - Ready, Bob.
The moment arrived, to the water.

He goes 260.
ROUND 2
ROUND 3
ROUND 4
ROUND 5
Baby, we've won.
I don't understand, the Duce He said we would win.
And we have lost.
It must be the beginning of the end.
Here it comes.
Well done Crisp.
What happened? - You've won.
At what velocity? - 452 kilometers per hour.
I promised he would make 500. I'm sorry, Mitch.
Silence.
Silence everyone.
I have received a telegram from the Duce.
I want to give you my more sincere congratulations to all.
The victory of the British pilot...
...has only been possible in our glorious Italian sky. Mussolini.
Thank you.
I already told you that the Duce is always right.
"Il Duce a semper ragione".
Silence silence.
Now they will make us a photo to everyone.
Mister photographer, go ahead.
Attention, all firm.
One more.
So we went home feeling so good.
Believing that it could not be done fly faster, 452 km/h.
But not Mitchell he was satisfied.
He wanted to beat his own record.
The plane suffered special modifications.
It seemed that everything was perfect minus the weather.
To Kinkead, however he didn't care.
Poor Kinkead, I guess You have heard of Kinkead.
LIEUTENANT KINKEAD IS DEAD
HIS SEAPLANE CRASHES IN SOLENT
Poor Kinkead.
I don't know if I will continue the project.
It's my life's work and the only thing What it achieves is destroying life.
Come on, don't talk like that.
I am not a prophet...
...but I know you have a bright future in your hand.
Will benefit England and maybe the world.
Now you can't give up leave it, whatever the cost.
Besides, no one will stop me from flying.
we will continue to achieve more and more speed.
We love you and we need you.
We have not yet reached limit, Mitch, and you know it.
Yes I know.
The sky is the limit.
Can you get more juice out of the S5?
No, that plane is finished.
We have made him pass his limit.
need a new design and a new engine.
Well said.
Yes, but that requires money.
Money money money, how do we get it?
Gentlemen, I have an idea that it will cost us half a million pounds.
We must look to the future.
And the most flourishing industry It will be aviation.
where will it be inside In ten years or in twenty?
Who can tell us that?
There is a man, a man.
In England? - Yeah.
His name is Mitchell.
Mitchell? He won't get it she belongs to Supermarine.
yes but we could buy that company.
buy it? But it would cost us...
Half a million pounds exactly.
And it would be worth it because we would have that man.
He is quite shy.
Hi Mitchell.
I present to you sir lan Maclaren of Vickers.
Delighted. - Delighted.
I called you, Mitchell...
...because Vickers is going to buy our company.
That he is going to buy it?
Because?
Dear friend, the Worries are rising...
...and our seaplanes are...
Not the best.
Furthermore, Mr Mitchell, that is not the only reason.
Our greatest interest is the future of aviation.
And we think yours is too.
Yeah.
Well, you see, we are in the enviable situation to offer...
...facilities practically unlimited.
And, in my opinion, you are the one You will get more out of them.
i think we should have a conversation.
I'm designing a new prototype...
...and I'll need a new engine of very particular characteristics.
Wait a minute, Mitch, no. you can talk like that.
You can't tell Vickers:
..."this is my design and the engine that I want".
Why not? Don't they buy us for that?
I would say it is rather the other way around.
You need to find out what kind of motors is willing to give you sir lan...
...and adapt or modify your design according to it.
I can not do this.
You'll have to change your mind.
Because?
Because? Because...
Because it has always been done that way.
But that will change in the future.
Would not you agree?
In fact I am.
But you must understand that we are just beginners.
That's clear.
It's nice to check that we understand each other
I'm wondering the same.
Well excuse me.
She was working. - Bye bye.
Bye bye.
I thought I understood that Mitchell was shy.
No, some say that he is stubborn and others confirm it.
I like him, he knows what he wants and I'm going to make sure he gets it.
That way Mitchell received the new opportunity from her.
The Supermarine S6...
...it was so advanced that swept everything away.
And with a speed of 500 kilometers per hour...
...we won the trophy Schneider again.
Will we ever get it? - Of course.
Congratulations, Mr. Mitchell. - Thank you so much.
Why do they call it the Schneider cup?
I have no idea.
500 km/h is not bad.
I think it's wonderful.
Is beautiful.
A great race. - One more victory and it will be ours.
What's that?
What happen?
I don't know, let's go out and see.
My, my, did you find her?
I still don't know who it will be.
Good luck.
Down with the government.
Wake up, England.
What will you mean?
What it puts
But if she comes out of a yacht.
A very peculiar yacht.
Lady Houston's.
There she comes.
Who? -Lady Houston herself.
Good night.
Good evening, Lady Houston.
Good evening, Commander. Congratulations.
Thank you.
How many people, but what will they look at so much?
I think that's the message of her yacht, Lady Houston.
That doesn't seem very popular, does it?
No, that's right, I don't care...
...but some find it offensive.
Well, that was my intention, that It was offensive, that's why I posted it.
Yes, laugh.
I don't like the government but I do like my country.
Not everyone can say the same.
Jeff, how are you? - How are you?
Who will it be?
Don't go, I'll be right back.
Your drink, Miss Harper. - Very kind.
Be careful what What a drink, Mr. Crisp...
...may lose its value.
My dear Admiral, this is not the place for me...
...so I'm going back to my yacht.
No thanks, I don't need an escort.
Hello.
I've seen him somewhere before.
Really? And where would he have been?
There he is again.
It is extremely patriotic.
They say that he sleeps wrapped in the flag
Laughing is all they know.
no one seems to care the situation of our country.
I try to make them worry.
Yes, I see it.
Maybe you don't believe me, but I sense something.
Our country is in danger.
We must be strong by land and by sea.
And in the air. - As?
And in the air.
What can we do in the air except fly at ridiculous speeds?
Besides, it's not natural to fly, we are not birds
you are not a fish but he has a yacht.
That was rude.
It was not my intention to offend you.
Come on, don't apologize, please.
Today everyone is rude.
I'm sick of this party leave. Bye bye.
Bye bye.
I will remember you, young man, I think so I'll remember.
WAKE UP ENGLAND
this is more important than win a race.
We have spent several months putting pressure on the government.
We give them arguments.
The importance of aviation experimental, prestige.
Another victory and the trophy is ours. It would be tragic not to participate this year.
Yes, but that will cost a hundred thousand pounds.
What will the taxpayer say?
As things are, I doubt they allow it.
Now everything depends on the government.
We'll know right away.
They don't seem to realize It is important to keep the trophy.
No.
They're going to bring it up now.
Does the government realize such a serious effect it would have...
...the withdrawal of budgets for aerial research?
And the dire repercussions What would we have in this country?
...and in the nation's industry?
Does the government realize that there is three million unemployed in the country?
"Does the government realize that there are three million unemployed in the country?
It was the next question.
Imagine the answer.
Nothing to do.
Not on the run.
There is no money.
So we must give it all up when we had it in range.
More or less.
Is this the aeronautical club? - Yeah.
You want?
I would like to speak with Commander Jefferson.
What is it about?
He is private.
What is his name?
He doesn't know me.
Well, if he doesn't give me his name and he doesn't tell me what it's about...
... I think he won't be able to see you.
I cant? You shouldn't say that.
I never accept a refusal.
I will try it.
Excuse me, are you the commander Jefferson, right?
Can, why?
The team leader of the Schneider trophy?
I was.
This is the Schneider trophy, isn't it? - Yeah.
Nice huh?
I didn't know they had it here.
It will not be for long.
Can i do anything else for you?
No, it's me who has something for you.
A check for value a hundred thousand pounds?
That's it, one hundred thousand pounds.
That check must be fake.
Wait, there's a note.
This is for the plane race.
Britain has to be strong on land, sea and air.
Lucy Houston.
Houston? It sure isn't fake.
Yeah.
Cheers to the rude young man at I told him that I would remember.
Is for you.
I guess they want it, right?
What if?
are you sure we can't do anything for you?
Yes, sure there is something.
Don't you want to take it with you? - No, thanks.
How about a drink? - Yes, but make it small.
GREAT BRITAIN STAYS WITH THE SCHNEIDER TROPHY
The speed was 550 kilometers per hour in the year 1931.
It was another triumph given by a myopic government...
...someone with a vision of the future.
Lady Houston's Gift to the country of her was not in vain.
The Schneider Trophy was awarded to Great Britain in perpetuity.
Almost two years passed.
Years that were a bit adrift.
When that disturbing influence introduced himself again.
Mitch!
Jeff!
He hadn't seen you for a long time.
I came back yesterday, I'm Excuse me and I wanted to see you.
Well done. - You are not working?
What are you talking about? What is this?
It looks very professional but it is not your profession.
What about Supermarine, They don't make planes anymore?
I thought you would welcome me with your hands full of new designs.
No, the truth is that I try take things easy.
It seems that I do not fit nothing to do.
I don't blame you, you've had it all. What more can you wish for?
I don't know, but I keep thinking about it.
I must have something left to do.
Apart from gardening.
Yes, but the truth is, I don't understand you.
I'll watch you more closely.
Go ahead, Admiral.
How are you?
Now I see, you need a vacation.
Oh really?
Yeah, I hadn't noticed.
Diana!
I have to take a trip why don't you come with me?
Why do not you tell me before?
Diana!
Look who has come.
Hi Jeff!
Hi, Diana!
We're going on vacation.
Where to?
To Spain.
In Paris, it has a great charm.
To Germany. - Why Germany?
There are no women.
That? there are 25 million of women in Germany.
They are not my type.
Where we go?
Well believe it or not We are going to Germany.
Congratulations.
Effectiveness.
I would call it poetry.
You English always know they get carried away by sentimentality.
They talk about poetry but Earning lots of money.
I had not noticed.
His boys are in shape.
Yes, we train them a lot.
Strength and joy.
Our Chancellor, Adolf Hitler, he wants it that way.
Doesn't he seem wonderful?
He certainly is inspiring.
Are you a pilot?
No, not yet, but I will be one day.
Good luck.
Excuse me, Mr. Mitchell, is there also aeronautical clubs in England?
Yes, we have them, but they are not as organized as yours.
Soon they will be, the English They have always been a bit slow.
Yeah everyone going like snails at 700 kilometers per hour.
Watch, Jeff.
Look, Diana, to that I call it a pure flight.
Would the lieutenant like to come up to one of those planes?
to me, in one of those jalopy without motor?
No thanks, I'd be scared to death. - It's the only thing that we can do.
The Treaty of Versailles does not allow manufacture engines to Germany.
That complicates things, right?
Beer. Bring, bring
Take. - Thank you.
You are welcome. Take.
Excuse me.
Strength with joy.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...Mr. Mitchell, as well as his work...
...are very well known in our country.
And Mr Crisp...
...who we met in the great war...
...he is a pilot of recognized class.
we partners from the Ritzthoven club...
...we are proud to have you here today.
I want to make a toast to health of our honorable guests.
Bravo.
Thanks, lieutenant. - It's free.
I appreciate it a lot.
My wife and Mr. Crisp, right?
Yes, indeed.
we are happy to to be in this famous club...
...and also from being in Germany.
We have seen things that They have impressed tremendously.
A healthy and organized youth...
...people of peace...
...and good company. - Thank you.
We toast to you. - For you.
Add your name here along with other famous celebrities.
Milch, Ured, Goering, and now you Mr. Mitchell.
Mr. Crisp, please.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...if you want to dance, the orchestra is playing.
I hope you have fun.
Doctor!
Mr Mitchell, I want introduce you to a rival of yours.
A rival? - Yeah.
Dr Messerschmitt, Mr. R.J. Mitchell.
Wow, that's a great honor. - I'm wondering the same.
are you enjoying your visit to Germany?
Of course, a lot.
Good. Although no one is prophet in his land...
...I hope not be true in your case.
The truth is that I'm not complaining I am also not a prophet.
Just like you, I'm just an aircraft designer.
A very busy one, right?
Quite aye, though now I'm on vacation.
Well, if you like our country, maybe you want to stay.
we could find things interesting things you could do.
It's very kind, but really I'm on vacation.
I can help you if you want do something in particular.
Thank you.
I have seen some of their glider clubs.
Gliders?
Yes, they are very useful.
I think they are watching us.
It seems important, what does it mean?
My name, my card, my wife.
Go for God.
What do you think I should do now?
Nothing.
Just take me with him.
It's a real pity.
It is not.
Come on, English pilot, go back to Germany.
honey was not made for the donkey's mouth.
His wife, his card, my mistake.
The best thing about gliders is that Go back to the Birds Beginning.
I think they don't have very practical use...
...but you learn a lot on air currents.
Yes, we have discovered it.
I guess he won't think we make only gliders.
I know they make commercial planes And I know they're great, but...
You see, they're not just commercial aircraft.
Had understood...
What about the?
A little more cognac? - Yes, thanks.
What she was going to say was: what What about the Treaty of Versailles?
Well, actually yes, but forget it.
Luck. - Luck.
We have forgotten.
The Treaty of Versailles is dead.
I understand.
Although I'm not so sure.
It's very simple, Mitch.
Very easy.
The Treaty of Versailles is dead.
Is history.
And just like history, it has already happened.
history only matters while it's done.
A point of view curious about history
You have made history, you have won a race at 750 km/h.
The rest is not important.
What matters is what you do right now or next year.
That's right, Mitch, or two years from now.
His victory was a feat.
yes, just like him discovery of America...
...or the reform of old Europe.
You are very kind.
But none of that has the same importance...
...that the rise to power of Adolph Hitler.
Adolph what?
hitler.
That is very interesting, but it is only his opinion.
And one day it will be yours, Mr. Crisp.
because here and now we are making history.
History only matters while it's done.
I like that the story stay as is.
Not us, we're fed up to be subordinates.
With our Führer we will be the rulers of the world.
I agree that they are not some subordinates, but rectors...
...it's kind of radical, isn't it?
It's radical, but we'll do it.
Of course it would only be under extreme pressure.
Being the rulers of the world means that others have to obey.
Suppose to those others don't like...
...what would happen then? Explain it.
There are three answers.
First the Führer...
...according to the town German attached to the Führer...
...and third, the weapons in the hands of the German people led by the Führer.
weapons always they have the last word.
A nation that forgets that is finished.
If the Führer has the first word and our weapons the last...
...we don't care at all what other intermediaries say.
What if the others also have weapons?
We will have more.
More weapons, more tanks, more planes.
Planes?
I guess with motors. - Yes, with motors.
Goering will take care of it.
It doesn't matter if he orders five thousand planes, ten thousand, twenty thousand...
... he will get them.
why has he stopped in twenty thousand planes?
We will not stop, and I assure you that no one will stop us.
We won't be long.
A city can be destroyed within hours.
Annihilate her in a heartbeat.
However, it should not fear nothing, Mr. Mitchell.
It's a relief.
That is not directed against England, You are friends.
England helps us.
It really is funny, very funny.
The good and respectable town of england...
...who is so afraid of the communists, it does not prevent us from rearming.
No, they help us.
They lend us money.
It's really funny, very funny.
It's not funny at all.
You must forgive him, no she was being serious.
It is that he has had one drink too many.
Honey, I'm having a wonderful time.
They are lovely people.
those fucking stupid They're going to start it all over again.
Come on forget that we are here to have a good time.
I'm afraid not, we must return immediately.
Tomorrow.
I'm sorry I suggested this trip.
Well, I'm glad.
Now we will work and very seriously.
It's more important than that I never dreamed and more urgent.
The weapons will have the last word.
we will return to our country to tell.
five thousand planes, ten thousand, twenty thousand.
Goering will get it.
That's what they said.
and we will be defenseless against their planes.
It's true, I know perfectly well.
months ago some of us tried to tell the government...
...that the danger increases...
...but we are in a democratic country.
Government policy is will of the people. Or so it is supposed.
The fervent desire of all sane person is peace.
We can not do anything.
We are a weapons company.
If we warn the danger, They will attack us from all sides.
Well, Mitchell, what do you propose?
Only that we prepare to give to the Nazis a dose of their medicine.
Death and destruction.
I'll build a fighter.
It will be the fastest plane and destructive of the world.
You can start, I support you.
the only thing we can do It is conspiring against the government.
Conspire? - Yeah.
We will force them to collect money to defend the country.
Unfortunately I can't do nothing without provoking some protests.
And do you think I could?
Undoubtedly.
Is it a matter of life or death for this country.
You shouldn't blame the Treasury, they do their job.
They take care of the nation's economy.
Everybody's trying to get money...
...education, Security Social and I don't know how much more.
If it consoles you, we are several at the Air Ministry...
...that we agree with you. We will contribute money immediately.
How much?
£7,500.
7,500 pounds?
We don't even have to start.
It's what I can offer.
You continue with the design of the plane, maybe it will help speed it up.
Don't get depressed.
He's talking to the government, that makes anyone sick.
I think there's only one way, Henry.
Build an airplane, a fighter.
Ready when needed.
I want to design it following the line of my Schneider planes.
Naturally it will not be a seaplane.
For that I will need a new engine.
another engine?
Why do you always come to me when do you want a special engine?
I guess that's one of the drawbacks of being called Royce.
A new engine will mean new tools, months of testing...
...which can ascend about 200 thousand pounds.
Who will pay that?
You see, the Minister of Air He has promised £7,500...
...and I thought...
Mr. Farrington is here.
Fine, I'll see you.
When, Sir Henry?
Now, in a couple of minutes.
I'm sorry, but I have another appointment.
I'm sorry I kept you.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Let's see, about that engine... - Yeah?
I think he has me against the wall.
I'll try to do it.
Who will pay it?
Don't worry about the money it always comes from somewhere.
I'm going to prepare an engine that I have thinking for a long time.
We will work it together.
I've given it a name, Merlin.
Marline?
Yes, the one with the king's wizard Arthur who worked miracles.
Now my engine and your plane they will do exactly that.
Thank you so much.
Good health.
Who will it be tonight?
Do you think I have an assignment?
Of course not.
I suggest you have a date.
Come on, who is it?
Elsie Trabshaw?
Come on, you're six months late.
No, this will be really sensational.
Again?
She is one hundred percent female.
What a test pilot you are done.
Yeah.
Excuse me, miss.
Is that it?
Is she?
Could it be that you have messed up with dating?
Dear Miss Harper...
...what is she doing here?
I have come to see you. - Me?
Sorry, I have an appointment.
I know but still a quarter of an hour to go.
As? Didn't he tell the lady Did he come at ten?
At quarter past ten. - I told you at ten.
Yes, I know, I'm sorry. But I had to see him, it's very important.
Miss Harper, I'm not complicated... - It's about Mr. Mitchell.
Mitch?
Is something wrong?
Yes, I'm afraid so.
Let's sit down.
What happens?
He starts working very early and hardly rest.
no man can work under that stress without falling apart.
Don't worry about Mitch, he's fine.
He will see, it is something strange, but he is an artist.
And the work that he does is original and above all creative.
It's like giving birth.
Now it's hard, but right away he will be calmer ...
...tending the garden and playing pool.
You will see how immediately it will be replaced.
No, I would say it is something much more serious.
You are working too much.
You don't see him as much as I do.
That's true.
Where is he now?
In his office, working.
And she does it every night.
Mr. Crisp, if you are his friend...
...I should talk to him and force him to rest.
How long has it been like this?
A few months.
And, in my opinion, it is too much.
He should have warned me before.
Fine, we'll go see him.
Now? - Yeah.
And Miss Brown? - It can wait, come on.
Mitch.
Hi Jeff.
Come on, you're going home.
Thank you.
Ready?
Yeah.
Hello Miss Harper, are you still here?
On going.
Mitch, now to bed.
You promise? - Fiance.
Thank you.
You have scared me.
Something wrong?
No, everything is fine, just We have accompanied Mitch.
Today he has worked too much. - I see.
Thanks for everything. Come in, please.
No thanks, it's late. - Only a moment.
Of course they will.
You are exhausted. Tea I'll make a bowl of soup.
Sounds good.
Come with me while I prepare the soup.
Come on, Jeff, pour yourself a drink.
No thanks, Mitch.
Aren't you okay?
IM perfectly.
I don't know what he would do without her I would be lost.
Yeah it's amazing it has some good aspects.
Who?
The dragon.
You see, I meant Diana.
Diana? she is great.
Take my advice, Jeff...
...find yourself a wife.
Before it's too late.
Yes, she may.
I try everything once.
Here you go, honey.
Have your soup, honey.
Thank you.
Where is your tie?
I don't know, she will be in the office.
Honey, you work too much.
I work, but not too much.
Aren't you overdoing it?
No?
No.
Can't you loosen up a bit, Mitch?
Not yet, Jeff, not yet.
They are not actually the hours what wear me out...
...but what I'm looking for be out of my reach.
Tired of always stretching out your arm trying to achieve the impossible.
But I'll get it.
Also what I want I know it's not easy.
It must go 600 kilometers per hour...
...spin on a coin, go up 3,000 meters in a few minutes...
...dive without let the wings tear...
...carry eight machine guns.
Eight machine guns?
Yeah.
And it all came one day the cliff, remember?
Looking at those birds.
Although not a bird what i am creating
At least it will be a very curious bird.
A fire-breathing plane and spits out death and destruction.
A Spitfire bird.
Bye bye.
tell mr mitchell I want to see you
She has not come this morning. - No?
No, she hasn't shown up at the office.
Look for him and tell him that the commander Buchan will be here at three.
He wants to see you to tell him Something very important.
Yes sir.
Mr. MacPherson, please.
Yeah?
No, he has not come here this morning.
With Mrs. Mitchell, please.
He left early this morning.
Yeah.
Where could he have gone?
I guess he already knows something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to me.
I have a slight idea.
you are quite ill Mr. Mitchell.
I already imagined something like that.
That's why I want you to help me.
It's in your hands more than mine.
explain yourself
You've been overdoing it.
A bit.
More than a little and that has to end.
Do you mean to work less?
You must stop working.
Take a vacation for a year.
Go that way, to the coast.
Lots of sun, fresh air and complete rest.
If you do so, there is no reason why. the one that cannot live many years.
And if I do not do it?
So...
Come on tell me.
Maybe it will last a year.
maybe less.
Maybe six or eight months.
Eight months.
It's in your hands, Mr. Mitchell.
He already knows what he must do.
I'm sorry but no I know what has happened to him.
It seems she has disappeared.
Where was she?
We have searched for him everywhere.
Sorry, I took the morning off.
Good afternoon.
Mitchell, I have good news for you.
You have made it good everyone is on notice.
As for the design it is something that everyone likes.
Well, I won't beat around the bush.
Your plane must be finished in twelve months.
It's all the time we can give it.
It will be in eight months...
...because...
...is all I can give them.
This power system...
Do you have difficulties?
He is driving me crazy.
Okay, I'll give you detailed plans.
What a job. can you have it in three days?
I'll give it to you in the morning.
Why are you not sleeping?
How was I going to sleep?
I'm sorry honey, I had to do a job for the boys...
...so I preferred to finish it.
Dear...
...why don't you stop pretending?
I don't think you're just tired or that you commit excesses...
...you've done it before.
You're not that old either.
Honey, there's something else, something's wrong with you.
Are you sick.
I'm sure you are.
Well, I'm not that fit.
Can you do me a favor?
Of course. - See a doctor.
I've already done it.
When?
One day.
The day I told you I was in the city looking for tools.
Who did you see?
To a doctor in Harley Street.
What did she say?
Well, I just remember that I gave Thanks for her advice.
What did she really tell you?
You must tell me.
We are not children.
Dear...
...you think my job It's important, isn't it?
Naturally.
It's actually very important.
More important than us.
What did that doctor tell you?
He said to rest.
What else?
That if he didn't do it, he didn't assume The responsability.
If you don't stop working, you will die.
I should have told you.
So you're killing yourself on purpose.
I have to continue with my project...
...as you know, it's important.
We believe it is important and we must live for it.
Live?
Baby we all disappear sometime.
It doesn't matter when, but what we do while we're here.
How much time has he given you?
Don't worry about that.
I have time.
Yesterday I received a letter from Gordon.
Really?
read it to me
"Dear Mom and Dad,
...Good news. I They've been accepted into the team...
...and I do not have time for math.
I hope you will take it into account when you get the notes.
Could you send me money? I am out of funds.
Your son".
You sacrifice your life for something that may not be real.
You can't go on like this, you can't.
Day and night.
Suppose you don't finish it?
Diana...
...you want us to go to Cornwall?
When I get back I'll finish the job I'm left with a final effort...
...and then I'll take a vacation until I have recovered.
We do?

Just a little tired.
The tea will be right away.

They must make sure.
After all, many young people go to risk his life on that jalopy.

Not you, you would risk the neck on anything.
