Excellent and moving series, far above the average WW2 documentaries on broadcast television. Should be shown to ALL schoolchildren as part of their history lessons.

My only criticism is that the modern footage, although the filming was excellent, lacked any real story. It would have benn nice to see at least some attempt at a combat scenario for the young pilot, although I'm sure insurance would have been a problem.

I was lucky enough to have filmed an air to air dogfight sequence between MH434 and 109 "Black 10" for a Discovery Channel series, it certainly gave me a tiny glimpse into what the real thing must have been like.
