Remember this?

Good show.  Novel was better.   Had to return the DVDs because they weren’t captioned (I watched them first).

The last dogfight is pretty good.   In its day it was a refreshing show.

I'll have to track down the book. 

I remember watching it years ago.  I little more nuance than the typical fair.

And not CGI.

Do that.  Derek Robinson wrote a series of books - IIRC, the WWI book was first (Goshawk Squadron?) - and they're all quite good.  Piece of Cake is the best, though.  The American character is based on a real person.

I'll definitely check that one out!

I got a signed copy of the "The Blue Max",  I'll have to add  "Goshawk Squadron" to my collection.

As OM said that was the WWI book.    It was good but POC was definitely his best.  You can see the influence of the former in the latter.    Enjoy it.    Then grab “Tale of a Guinea Pig” by Geoffrey Page for the true story.
