Battle of Taranto and Battle of the Atlantic Commemoration

A short film to celebrate the bravery of the 'Men of Taranto' in November 1940 and the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic - a battle that lasted from the first day in September 1939, to the last day of war in Europe, with an allied ship being sunk on both these days.
The film was distributed to the fleet in time for the this annual commemoration.
A significant amount of the footage used is from the upcoming "Britain's Top Guns - The Fleet Air Arm Story" documentary. The documentary team produced this short film as a commemoration and taste of the full history - 1909 to date - being released later in 2024.
