I’ve watched the whole series and noted some historical errors. They are not significant to the story, but I’m a believer in telling the truth in films of this nature. Did the film maker have access to a true history of the Air Force during the War? Burns made some claims that I had never heard nor read and I’m a vet of the AF and have read a lot.
I don’t know the extent of resources available to Burns.
