June 1st, 1943. In the heat of World War II, German intelligence believes they have spotted Prime Minister Winston Churchill boarding a civilian flight in Lisbon. The Luftwaffe dispatches an elite squadron of Ju 88 fighters over the Bay of Biscay with a single order: shoot it down.
But Churchill is safe in North Africa. The man on the plane is Leslie Howard, the world-famous actor and star of Gone with the Wind.
This video tells the minute-by-minute story of BOAC Flight 777—a brutal assassination attempt fueled by mistaken identity, espionage failures, and the ruthless mathematics of total war. Discover how a cigar, a Homburg hat, and a fatal assumption led to the death of 17 innocent people and changed the rules of the air war forever.
⚠️ This story is based on real historical events.
