The Shadow Factory

T01118426634
Autumn 1940. The Battle of Britain rages. Southampton is home to our only hope of victory: the Spitfire. But when the Luftwaffe drops 2,300 bombs, the city goes up in flames and the Woolston Supermarine Spitfire factory is destroyed. From the ashes, a story of chaos, courage and community spirit emerges.
