Over Here (does anyone have a copy of this? Just my copy on video is worn out and you can't buy it, I recorded it when it was on TV)
Piece of Cake (a mini-series but great)

I've got a video copy somewhere but it's so old it most likely will never play. If I can dig it out it's your pal. :) That had MH434 in it didn't it?
I agree with Piece of cake (MH434 again) even if the show was nothing at all like the book.
Films though:
Battle of Britain (I bet MH434 is in here somewhere).
The Dam Busters. I hope the remake turns out as good as the origional.

Piece of Cake?

I've never heard of it before. Is it really that good, and worth getting?

If you want a good WWI aircraft movie, "The Blue Max" with George Peppard is a good one-
