Uniforms of the Alamo and the Texas Revolution and the Men who Wore Them, 1835-1836

The film drew many respected British actors to accept roles as key figures of the battle, including Sir Laurence Olivier as Hugh Dowding and Trevor Howard as Keith Park. It also starred Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer and Robert Shaw as squadron leaders. As well as its large all-star international cast, the film was notable for its spectacular flying sequences which were on a far grander scale than anything that had been seen on film before. At the time of its release, Battle of Britain was singled out for its efforts to portray the events of the summer of 1940 in great accuracy...

Military Uniforms of Britain & the Empire
Gennemgang af især engelske regimenter og enheder i det engelske imperium og kolonirige, bl.a. i Canada, de engelske kolonier i Nordamerika, Indien, Australien og de engelske kolonier i Afrika, med oplysning om hvordan deres uniformer og deres udstyr ændrede sig gennem tiderne og med små strejf af krigshistoriske hændelser i beskrivelsen.
