Thu Jan 28, 2010 1:14 pm

anyone else watching these.., P-47 vs. FW-109, P-38 vs. Zero, F-4F vs. Zero.., so far.., pretty cool.., talks of Bong and Thatch (thatch weave).., not as much detail as I would have wanted.., and not enough time on the actual aircraft.., i am not sure.., but the shows are definitely lacking something!!!!

Thoughts anyone?

You've gotta remember that the shows are written for a broader audience than warbird enthusiasts. If it was written for experts in the field, it would be so far above the average Joe's head, only WIX members would watch.
