"This 1942 fictionalised biopic chronicles the true story of how two of the most remarkable men in aviation history - visionary Spitfire designer R.J. Mitchell and his test pilot Geoffrey Crisp - designed a streamlined monoplane that led to the development of the Spitfire. Directed by and starring Leslie Howard, Howard sadly never saw the release of the finished film due to his own plane being shot down by the Germans in 1943 whilst returning from a diplomatic mission. David Niven was also granted special leave from the military to star in the film. Propaganda runs high throughout a film that was seen as a boost to British morale. The First Of The Few also features a stirring score by William Walton.

Beginning in September, 1940. Crisp (David Niven), an airfield station commander, is recounting to his pilots the story of how his good friend R.J. Mitchell (Leslie Howard) designed the Spitfire they take to the skies in. The story flashbacks to 1922 and the Schneider Trophy, here we meet Mitchell sitting by the coast watching seagulls with his binoculars - visualising this is the way forward for aircraft design. Into his office one-day bursts a cheeky ex-WWI pilot seeking work, Crisp, and Mitchell promises to hire him as test pilot should his design ever go into production.

Although obsessed with the idea of a streamlined monoplane, a visit to Germany and chance meeting with Messerschmitt during the 1930s resolves Mitchell to build Britain the fastest and deadliest fighter plane. Faced with little government support he finally nears completion of his project but is rocked by the news he has only one-year to live unless he stops working. Battling against failing health, Mitchell sacrifices himself to develop the aeroplane whose advanced design will help Britain to win the vital battle of the skies" -britmovie.com.uk
