Loved the book and loved the tv series. A few pedants criticised the useage of the spitfire and especially late post 1939-1940 models, instead of the hurricane in the book and genuinely used by the RAF in France in 1940. This criticism must be taken with a large pinch of salt. At the time of filming there were 2 hurricanes flying in the uk both owned by the RAF Battle of Britain memorial flight who wouldn't be open to risking the valuable airframes. Therefore the spitfire being available in bigger numbers and privately owned were used.
This series was very beautifully filmed with no CGI so the flying sequences are awesome to say the least.
A must see for the famous under the bridge scene if nothing else.
