The only thing that I take issue with is that they limit themselves to
incidents where they can interview the particpants. When they did the
segment on Jay Zeamer, they used an audio interview done sometime in
the past. But they dredged up the co-pilot. It would seem to
preclude them from doing segments say, on Bob Johnson, Richard Bong,
Adolf Galland, Douglas Bader, and on and on and on......


True, and it's US-centric, which excludes a lot of good stories--some
you've named. The first ever ep feature one of Rickenbacker's fights,
so they will go outside that limit.
