Interesting, but like almost all such shows it gets a lot wrong.

Things like a lack of armor, the fighter's armament and the order and timing in which things happened.  You'd think, for example, that Operation Jericho was done by bomber Mossies and that fighters came later.  In actuality the Mosquitoes that did Jericho were FB.Mk VIs like we have in AH.  Mosquitoes entered service first as PR.Mk IVs, then as F.Mk IIs, then as B.Mk IVs.  Orders for all three being placed after the prototype demonstrated its superior speed when compared to the Spitfire (and by extension, the Bf109).

Actually it said "1/2 ton of armor" in the one program.

..."not in our version" I said to myself. ;)

So far as I can tell, with these "edutainment" programs it doesn't matter who made it or who's plane it is about, there are always errors.

Was nice to see the footage and the Mossie pilots though.

Thanks RogerDee. That was well worth the look.
Be careful what you shoot at. Most things
in here don't react too well to bullets.
