Filming the Battle of the Mediterranean

A Mediterranean miniseries is the preferred naval-battle production, while Eric Brown's wartime flying is proposed as a separate series.

Question

Which naval battle would make the strongest film or television series, and what should it emphasize?

Short answer

A high-budget miniseries on the Battle of the Mediterranean would best capture the campaign's breadth; Eric Brown's wartime flying deserves a separate series.

Notes

The proposed production is a miniseries about the Battle of the Mediterranean, with a large budget and full creative control. Eric Brown's wartime flying is suggested as another subject. That would be a biographical aviation series, so it is distinguished from the narrower request for a production about a naval battle. Brown's service in Audacity leads into a discussion of escort-carrier operations against German Condors.
