REACH FOR THE SKY (1956)

LEWIS GILBERT

Plot

Douglas Bader was the archetypal British Bulldog hero, an ace cricketeer and rugby fly-half, who tragically lost his legs in a flying accident, but went on to be a top Spitfire flyer and later one of the most renowned escapees from Colditz. This is his story, a stirring tribute to an inspirational figure from British history.
