How They Made " Piece of Cake"

Piece of Cake was one of the most ambitious drama productions ever made for television. In this book, Robert Eagle explains how the series was made, the use of real and replica aeroplanes, the recreation of wartime airfields. Aviation writers describe the planes used at the time: Spitfires, Messerschmitts Heinkels and Rapides and how some of them have survived. Pilots describe what it is like to fly these planes now. There are first hand accounts from pilots who fought in the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain.
This book is illustrated with over 100 outstanding colour and black and white photographs by award-winning photographer Herbie Knott.
