4. They Do Have Interesting Info, But:

Their video cuts drive me up the wall. They will routinely cut to shots of anything that might be related to the subject. Current video example: they show the cruiser Long Beach when they talk about the anti-aircraft fire. she wasn't commissioned until '61. Then they show cuts of Enterprise (CVAN 65) and cuts of a Forrestal class carrier.
I keep seeing cuts like this in other videos, as if they just want a video of a subject, who cares if it is relevant, it's a ship, a plane, a tank, etc.
Sorry for the rant, but if the visual part of their production is this loose; what does that say about the rest of their production values.
Why yes, I am a nerd. How did you know?

5. This is true of many Youtube historians.

I'm a huge fan of The History Guy. The same is true there. But on subjects I know something about, the content turns out to be exquisitely researched, even if the images are borrowed from other historical events.

There are all kinds of factors that limit image availability. I, a fellow nerd, have learned to relax a bit when it comes to such things.

3. Read about this...

recently read on a History of Naval Aviation site.

Brave, heroic actions by navy pilot in a plane that was badly outmatched by the Migs. Great Air battle. well worth watching
