I despise American documentaries, but does anybody think British ones are far to "poetic" and like to romanticize things. Like as soon as a British documentary talks about the Supermarine Spitfire, Longbows, or Waterloo I turn off the T.V. Here is a quote from The luftwaffe: A History by John Killen,

>"The Supermarine Spitfire was a slim and supremely beautiful monoplane with graceful semi-elliptical wings, and such smoothing lines that it seemed too ethereal for the rough and tumble of air fighting, but R.J. Mitchell, the designer, had used his Schneider Trophy experience to produce a thoroughbred; excellent handling characteristics, outstanding high altitude maneuverability and a speed of over 350 m.p.h turned the Spitfire into the epitome of the single-seater fighter."

Like fuck they guy wrote three brief chapters on the Eastern front and spent forever talking about the RAF, spook Nazi jets I didn't care about, and things like the Channel Dash.

what are you memers even talking about? other than history channel shit, no one does this.

>When CN fucking N makes a 90-minute documentary on the civil rights movement and makes only a singular mention of Stokely Carmichael and no mention of Black Panthers or Malcolm X.
