Air guys dont get enough appreciation, I think.

Burns did have a good photo montage about the maximum-danger
days of American day bombings.

One complaint...any high-school kid watching wouldn't unreasonably
conclude that B-17 gunners never knocked down a German plane.

fwiw...I had to shutdown my DVD, The Eye of Vichy, to watch this episode tonight. Vichy is a short (30 min, I think) “film” by famous (and still active) French “new wave” director Claude Chabrol. It is nothing but a collage of Franco/German propaganda newsreel footage that was shown in both Vichy France and in the north during the war. Paints a very, very ugly picture of enthusiastic French collaboration. Netflix has it, although I bought it after first renting.
