Piece of Cake

Last night we finished watching this 6 part mini-series. It was released in 1988 and was based on the novel by Derek Robinson. The film follows a group of RAF pilots from the beginning of WWII when they were based in France through the Battle of Britain. The best part of the film was the flight footage. They used real Spitfires and ME-109's and it was poetry in motion just to watch the Spits land or watching them retract their landing gear after take-off. My only criticism of the film was that there really didn't seem to be a point, other than these brave fighter pilots were just human with good, and in the case of this film, many bad points.
