Believe it or not, I missed the series when it came out and it has never been repeated or made available on VHS...

It was very 'controversial' at the time, causing considerable upset among BofB veterans. I have read the book ( by Derek Robinson ) and assume that the controversy surrounded Robinson's depiction of 'schoolboy rivalry' among the pilots, leading them to trick one another into fatal accidents, and even on one occasion the shooting down of an officer by members of his own squadron.

Who knows...except that the 'shooting down' incident did happen, I think in 92 Squadron....?
