This is such an interesting and well-made series. I have learned a great deal about the production of the Spitfire and the people behind it, and all the problems they endured along the way. It is great to hear directly from people involved, through both interviews and readings of their memories. I am sure that this series would appeal widely to young and old alike. Well done Tuppence Middleton, and the BBC! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xtv79/episodes/downloads |

The promotion of this BBC series comes across as a piece of silly propaganda. I tuned into the episode about Miss Shilling's contribution to the Spitfire but the production of the programme was such that the level of background noise of Spitfires flying and firing pretty much drowned out the commentary, and so I gave up listening to the other episodes about the 'People's Plane' which 'saved the country' (sic).

...how much more can there be to say about this design? Has there ever been more published about 1 type?
I guess when something is deemed an immortal legend then exaggeration, folk-lore, and even myth is inevitable

This series is more about the people who built the aircraft than anything else, rather than the aircraft itself. I found it a fresh approach and really enjoyed it.
