Just started and will likely view the whole 52 minutes.  There's this bunch in New Zealand bulding WWI birds from scratch then testing them with modern day pilots.

Got my interest.

Finished it.  It was okay.  They can do only so much in 1 hour.  Learned things.

I really liked it and learned a few things as well, but I was much more interested in the construction aspect of the aircraft than the operational/combat part, which was the main point of the program.

In my 5-Hetzer rating system I give it 4 Hetzers:
