Looks like an appropriate show for us to watch:

Spitfire Squadron

History Channel

Friday, October 31 @ 9pm ET/PT

Designed in 1935 by R.J. Mitchell, the Supermarine Spitfire was a revolutionary fighter plane, which proved to be more than a match for its German opponents. In 1940, it helped turn the tide of WWII by providing vital air defense during the Battle of Britain. Combining interviews with surviving Battle of Britain fighter aces, archive film, and reenactments, we take you inside the cockpit to reveal the courage and resolve of the men who helped halt the advance of Hitler and become legends of the skies.

Thanks for the heads up. I will have to set the DVD recorder going for that one. Being Friday night in Alabama means high school football and since its halloween that has to happen also.

Hmm. I'll have to tape it so I can watch it uninterrupted some time.

Or maybe it'll come out on DVD and be available on the History Channel website. I picked up their P-51 DVD and its worth the $25 I spent for it.
