Really well done.... worth checking out. From the look at the battle
of the USS Laffey (And US air cover of the day, tactics, the ship
herself, etc.) to the stuff on the Okha program to the look at a
German ramming squadron in the last days of the war in Europe, really
well done stuff.

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......

But the show generally has been very good.

I think the CGI is actually improving as the series goes along, too.
I just wish they wouldn't repeat the same CGI footage 6-7 times in the
same episode.

I really enjoy the show, and its great to see some old friends
participating. The good Doctor (Fritz M.) was one of the participants
of our 2000 reunion for Kommando Welter in Schliessheim. He looked
great on the show!
