Re: Top Ten Aces of the Military Channel
Unfortunately many of these programs seem to be thrown together to appeal to a more general audience who aren't as exacting in their requirements as serious historians/researchers. How many times have you seen any bit of old footage of an exploding tank or aircraft getting shot down that isn't the correct type or from the correct campaign or even theatre or nationality. I'm sure some of these programs have excellent military advisors but unfortunately the editors and producers of many of these programs (just a job to most of them) decide what makes the cut and their historical eye for detail usually isn't as good as their abilities to produce mass media documentries.
