- Well done!
Well done! Great story telling if not quite all the story. Most of all, finally a new podcast from the BBC that is pro British.

United States2 years ago - WWII brought to life!
Brilliant podcast. True life stories interwoven with true to life information. Each episode building onto the next and from the last. The only thing is the actors and the real life people hard to tell apart, but this did not detract from a well thought out podcast. I can’t wait for the next facet of WWII Britain to be done like this.

This was a very cool podcast. I recommend it for ages 10 and over.
Apple Podcasts5raaf wing commanderAustralia3 years ago - Fascinating and detailed
A lot of details that effected the planes manufacture were very good. The research seems genuine and thorough, I really enjoyed it. The only reason for deducting 1 star was the music. Modern hard Rock music for a WW2 history subject was a little weird and out of place, as if it was trying to be “cool.” Everything else was brilliant though, loved it.
