Easy, Holst The Planets. I saw a documentary on the Spitfire when I was like 8 and during the Battle of Britain sequence they played Mars Bringer of War or whatever and it stuck with me. Its immedietely follwed by a mornful Venus Bringer of Peace which is perfect post battle, really suits the 'lone Spitfire gliding gracefully over the green land it protects etc etc' as does Elgars Serenade in E minor Op. 20: I. Allegro piacevole. Strangely its bizarre how well the music seems to work in tandom with the events unfolding in the actual game. Another great one for it is Elgars Pomp and Circumstance Marches. Only really for the British scraps though, when defending ol' blighty from the hun and all that!
