[danielastefanelli]

A Lens On is a documentary-style editorial series that uses our games to explore historical events, featuring interviews and insights.

In this first season, we draw upon Scramble: Battle of Britain to delve into World War II.

Get ready to dive deep into this legendary conflict, uncovering the heroic pilots, cutting-edge tactics, and game-changing aircraft that shaped the future of aerial warfare.

In the first episode, the main focus will be on the amazing pilots that took part in the battle.

The Battle of Britain was a crucial fight for air superiority over southern England and the Channel, preventing a Nazi invasion.

Elite fighter pilots, known as aces - those who shot down at least five enemy aircraft - played a decisive role, with figures like Douglas Bader and Eric Lock leading the charge.

The difficulties of this battle tested both the physical and mental endurance of young pilots. However, despite making up less than 10% of pilots, their impact was immense.

Featuring expert insights from historians Victoria Taylor and Paul Beaver, alongside exclusive commentary from the game’s Lead Developer Jon Coughlin, this series reveals the strategy, innovation, and sheer courage that defined the battle.

A special thanks to the RAF Museum in Biggin Hill (UK) and to the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar for the opportunity to conduct our interviews.
