Those 'Wingleader' series of vids are very entertaining and informative. Even though they're short, they're much better than the 'canned' doccos I'm used to seeing.


Maybe one day they'll get to the 'big' days by aces like Lang and HJM. The Shores books discuss it, sure, but for some folks like me it's easier to comprehend if it's visually and verbally discussed.

PS: and just so it's known, I am in NO WAY throwing shade towards those and other pilots.
