Adventures In Re-Imagination #3

[frustratedpilot]

PIECE OF CAKE

Original premise: based on the WW2 novel by Derek Robinson, about a Royal Air Force fighter squadron from the first day of the War through the Battle of Britain, by which time most of the cast, well...

Reimagined: Hornet Squadron is a Royal Army gunship unit, operating Lynx and Apache helicopters in the War On TerrorTM. Instead of all the original cast being pilots, a good number of them in the new version are Gunners/Weapons System Operators. The first season is about their deployment to Iraq for Operation Enduring Freedom/Shock & Awe.
