Sorry, folks, not a patch on the book. The book does not say that he was sent solo in a Spitfire by two airmen, with no apparent close overview by the boss. Was that really how it was in those days? I can't believe so.
The combat stress was well covered, though it possibly wasn't understood to the extent it deserved to be. Too much sex interest for a programme to honour the Few.
Interesting, but 5 out of 10.
