They made a movie about his exploits starring Kenneth More called "Reach the sky" Great story. He was a real PITA for the Germans while a POW.

Yep, he mentions the movie in the video, and even uses clips from it to illustrate some of the events.

He was one of my heroes growing up. I really enjoyed reading about the Battle of Britain and WWII in general.
