I have found myself running to the internet on occasion while watching the History Channel and/or Military History Channel. There was once a story about the WWII Redtails that seemed to take the “artistic liberties” portrayed in the movie for granted as historical fact. I don’t remember exactly the issue but I think the History Channel might have suggested that the Red Tails never lost a bomber to German Fighters. This was movie lore only.
It is very hard to take the history channel productions seriously when they will not use “tea party” to identify the “Boston Tea Party.”
