Who else mentioned the Jug? The P-47 may not have been the prettiest or the best dogfighter (then again, remember several aces flew them), but the damn thing had a great chance of getting you back alive! Ah hell, I love 'em all!!!Masterpiece Theatre aired a 6 part thing about the run-up to the Battle of Britain. It followed one Spit squadron and although NO ONE squadron could have had all those things happen, it was a very decent composite and covered a lot of material very accurately. It was a BBC production called, "Piece of Cake."
