Time Team: Sixty years ago, on the 23rd of May 1940, a 24 year old Englishman, Paul Klipsch climbed into his spitfire and flew across the channel. It was the first time that his squadron had gone to war and it was Klipsch�s first day of combat. It was also to be his last. The combat report simply said �killed in action�.

Time Team, have got just three days to uncover the wreck of one of the earliest spitfires of world war two and to tell the story of it�s pilot, Paul Klipsch.
