That is a good series. I own the dvd set somewhere around here. The shows on the military channel, while fun to watch, and you can learn somethings from them, aren't necessarily the best. Take what you see there lightly and then research it yourself. Dont just go on what you see in a 30-60 minute show.

Yep, you can sure learn a lot from a Military Channel show that refers to the dive flaps on the P-38 as "dive brakes" and then proceed to explain how they operated like air brakes.  Yep, you can sure learn a lot.  Just like you can learn a lot from the History Channel like how the P-51D had 6x 50mm cannons.
