I'm trying to get some information about the extent that B-25N N1042B was used as a cameraship for the filming of this miniseries. How much air-to-air was done. It appears that the airplane was brought to the UK specifically for the filming so there must have been a fair amount planned.

B-25 pilots are often shown as Vernon Thorpe and Anita Mays. Any more information about whether there were other B-25 pilots involved?

I don't have a copy of the book about the making of the show. Are there details in the book about the use of the B-25, or any stories about using the B-25 for the filming?

How about dates of use and where it was based during the filming?

Any specific information would be appreciated.
