ON THIS DAY: In 1940, Germany launched its first series of air raids on Great Britain, marking the beginning of the Battle of Britain, which would last into the following October. Residents of the London borough of Pimlico make an astounding discovery during the war when a bomb lands in their neighborhood in the 1949 comedy PASSPORT TO PIMLICO, which hilariously demonstrates the indomitable spirit that saw the British through the war.
