What an absolutely superb program this was. A real nice mix of war footage, reconstructions and interviews with surviving members of 303 squadron.
If you do get the oppotunity to see this then I highly recommend doing so. The story of Josef Frantisek was brilliant- he was given special dispensation to 'hunt' alone after he broke formation and chased some HE111's back to France! He racked up 17 kill during the BOB and was sadly killed whilst landing during early October.
A group of real men who once the war was over were sadly forgotten about by the allies. They did not even get to march in the victory parade as the allied feared this would upset Uncle Joe Stalin.
I for one will never forget their sacrifice
My eternal thanks and may your wings carry you through the heavens
It seems this was quite the norm for them!
