I knew about the books, but I hadn't seen any of the series. Thank you very much for posting these songs. I enjoyed both of them thoroughly. In fact, I just attached the link for the RAF Pilots Song to a Facebook message I sent to my siblings. :-) I'll be sure to check out more clips on YouTube as this series seems vastly entertaining.

Yay so glad to entertain you so thoroughly. Aren't they amazing? :) I have so much love for them all, for not talking down to kids and for being entertaining and educational and awesome. No wonder adults love the show so. Love that you sent the RAF song to your siblings. Let me know what they think of it :) And yeah, definitely check out the show on YouTube. It's completely worth it.

Oh my goodness! These are amazing. (And I can understand why the end of the RAF song made you tear up--it was an amazing way to end it.)

These really bring history alive!

I know, right? These guys really do make history interesting and fun. The 4th series is currently airing over here and all episodes can be found on YouTube. I'd recommend you check them all out. The sketches are hilarious and the songs all brilliant.

I adore that RAF song and the ending is perfection itself, never forgetting the seriousness of what those guys went through. And so making sure the kids watching don't forget either. So glad I was able to bring this awesome show to your attention :)
