Who Downed Douglas Bader?

Douglas Bader was a model national hero. At the age of just 21, as a young officer in the Royal Air Force, he had both legs amputated after he crashed his aeroplane, but through sheer guts and determination he learnt to walk again. Then, after being allowed to rejoin the RAF at the outbreak of World War II, he went on to become Britain’s best-known pilot – the most famous of ‘the few’ who helped save their country during the Battle of Britain.





Nor did Bader’s heroism end there. When his plane came down in France on 9 August 1941, he didn’t sit out the rest of the war quietly in a prisoner-of-war camp. Instead, his constant attempts at escape, despite his disabilities, led to his incarceration at Colditz Castle – the special German prison for officers who were repeat escapees, which famously had more guards than prisoners.





Yet Bader was also a controversial character. Loathed as much as loved by those under his command, he was a man of strong ideas who didn’t always follow orders.





This documentary, first shown on Channel 4 in the summer of 2006, combines two stories about Bader. It's a detailed look at the man and the myth, plus the hunt by modern day avaiation historians for the Spitfire in which he was shot over France which led to his incarceration in Colditz for the duration of the war. In it the accepted story of what happened comes under critical re-evaluation leading to some surprising results.
