The 1988 mini-series "Piece of Cake" is available on Youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMyhvsD5ceI&list=PLOu1rrR1A5-rH77VFSR3fXmNf52bL8747Based on the novel "Piece of Cake" it follows a Spitfire squadron from the beginning of the war to the Battle of Britain. Generally very well regarded, it did attract some criticism at the time for showing the not always heroic reality of "The Few." I recall the author of the novel, Derek Robinson, responding that he based most of the incidents in book on things that actually happened, though not all in one squadron of course.
