New 303 Squadron Book Trailer

We’re super excited about the new video trailer for our award-winning book 303 Squadron!

Today is the anniversary of 303 Squadron’s first victory on August 30, 1940 — the day before it was declared operational — when during a training exercise Lieutenant Ludwik Paszkiewicz downed a Messerschmitt 110.

We thought it would be an appropriate time to premiere our fabulous new trailer. Check it out below!

We are so fortunate to work with an extraordinary film editor here in Los Angeles, Christopher Ridder, who has done several of our trailers and other videos.

For the 303 Squadron trailer, Christopher wanted to create a video that would provide an authentic experience of the times and events chronicled in the book, which was written “live” during the Battle of Britain in the summer and fall of 1940.

He researched and used historical film footage from the Battle of Britain, and painstakingly animated and aged some of the still photos in the book, to blend them all seamlessly into a whole, accompanied by amazing music that he also found. All the material used in the trailer is either licensed or owned by us, or in the public domain.

We hope you enjoy the trailer — and maybe it will lead you to the book, if you haven’t already read it!
