I’m pretty sure we saw that when I was a kid. There were graphic scenes of RAF dogfights. Too much for a 6-year-old.
Worse than the fate of Edward Albert (Jr) in the film “Midway”?
This Guy’s relation was one of the cameramen for those dogfights.
A film veteran named James “Skeets” Kelly.
He survived “Battle of Britain” but died shortly thereafter while filming an aerial sequence in “Zeppelin”.
This from internet resource regarding Battle of Britain:

Flying the Mitchell, along with Hawke, for the filming sequences was well known American warbird pilot Duane Egli. Manning the cameras were two of the world’s best aerial cameramen, Skeets Kelly and John Jordan. Sadly both of these two experts in their field were killed while participating in airborne filming after the Battle of Britain had been completed. Kelly died in the midair collision of an SE.5A replica and the helicopter cameraship during the filming of the 1971 film Zeppelin. John Jordan had earlier diced with death during the shooting of the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, in which the lower part of one of his legs was severed by a helicopter rotor blade. During the shooting of the war film Catch 22 in 1970 Jordan fell out of the rear turret of the B-25 cameraship (NI203).
Battle of Britain stands as a lasting testament to the airborne camera skills of Kelly and Jordan.
