Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Lion Has Wings is a 1939 feature film from Great Britain, directed by Michael Powell, Brian Desmond Hurst, and Adrian Brunel.It is a propaganda film made rather hurriedly after the British entry into World War II in September 1939, but in time to be released in theaters in December of that year. Much of the film is basically an extended newsreel, recounting the events that led up to the war, like the Nazis reneging on the Munich Agreement and then attacking Poland. The "newsreel" portion then recounts the British war effort, showing munitions factories and the production of planes and guns and artillery. Interwoven with this are scripted segments featuring Ralph Richardson as RAF Wing Commander Richardson and Merle Oberon as his wife, two patriotic Britons supporting the war effort. This part of the film dramatizes a British bombing raid on the Kiel Canal as well as an aborted German bombing raid on England.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Artistic License – History: The portrait of RAF defenses against the Luftwaffe does not include radar, then a classified British state secret. The British raids on the Kiel Canal depicted in the film were actually a fiasco, taking losses but accomplishing little damage. And most egregiously, the aborted Luftwaffe raid on England was fictional, as the Germans made no air attacks on Britain until 1940 when hostilities started for real in the west. | |

The Big Board: RAF Fighter Command has a big table showing southern and western England, the Channel, and the German coast, with blocks representing fighter squadrons that people push around to track combat. | |

As You Know: Bobby, friends to the Richardsons, crams a lot of exposition in a single line of dialogue, to Mrs. Richardson at the airshow. | |
