Royal Air Force Film Production Unit (typically abbreviated to the acronym RAFFPU) produced propaganda films depicting RAF personnel and aircraft both on the ground and in aerial action during World War II from 1941 to 1945. Personnel included early commander Flight Lieutenant John Boulting; later director Richard Attenborough flew camera missions over Europe.
