I can't believe someone else has seen this! I just recently added it to my Amazon wishlist after noticing the DVDs were out. It was fantastic! I loved Hart, and Moggy, and Flash, and Fitz, and... well... all of them.
Two questions: Doesn't it remind you of the original Mobile Suit Gundam somewhat, and do they keep the Alastair Cook introductions as an extra?

Howdy,
Actually I'm the second person to mention PofK. YT above me also has it. It's a great series. Sadly, the DVD quality is not very good. There are also no extras to speak of (the Cooke intros are not there). :( Fortunately, the DVD quality is still better than my original video tapes (I saw the series on Masterpiece Theater when it originally aired so I know what you are referring to by mentioning the Alistair Cooke introductions - I have seen them). Yeah, it does have some similarities to MSG now that you mention it. :D
Piece of Cake is a great series for anyone out there who may have an interest in the Battle of Britain, military aviation, or WWII in general.

Shatterer, thanks for the info! I appreciate the warning about the transfer quality. Gonna go for it anyway. (Sorry I missed it in your list, YT)
I always thought of it more as being about war in general than the battle of Britain. The thing that stands out in my mind is the way the squadron gets worn done, as exemplified by the squadron pictures during each opening credits.

Funny, I saw the series only once on TV, when it was first broadcast in the USA (1990?), & have watched the DVDs a few times. I remember Alistair Cooke's intros so vividly I would've sworn they were on the DVDs.

Not very general, but it is a rare depiction of the phony war.

No, I checked the DVDs just before I posted to make sure they were not there. They aren't there. Who knows, maybe later printings included them. Could you check yours? You have me really curious now! :D
Yeah, I haven't seen the series in a long time but you are correct. Most of its events predate the BoB. The Phony War is correct. In fact, the BoB may only just be starting when the series ends. Do you remember?

I was gonna say that won't be necessary. My mind sometimes works that way; I'm a poor judge of how far back I'm remembering something. But you asked so nicely, I checked. No Alistair Cooke, just the narrator intros that begin each ep.

I got the impression, from the final exchange between the squadron leader & the FNG, that the tide had turned in their favour. So I'd say during the BoB, not the beginning, but not yet the end.
