TimHepplestone Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Just watching a History channel documentary on the Vietnam war. The narrator is talking about the first air attacks against North Vietnam, Specifically Lt Everett Alvarez who was the first pilot shot down in his A4 Skyhawk.. (He went on to survive ). That’s a great story but all the while the footage is keeps showing Phantoms launching from the carrier. Am I the only one who finds this kind of lazy documentary production irritating?

Gazzas Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Nope... you're not the only one. I've seen the same Panzer III footage invading Poland, Invading France, Invading Russia, and hastening to the defence of the Normandy coast in one WWII documentary series. I've seen the same footage on other docos, too. That's one busy, and long-lived little Pz III.

MikeMaben Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yep it bugs all of us, but what's worse to me is current news reports that are clueless about anything aircraft related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because almost all the journalists are gone, and we are being left with agendists who don't care about anything beyond their personal biases.

Kagemusha Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I personally love it; interior of airliner, mid-flight shot of 747, with footage of a 757 coming into land, verfremdungseffekt in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggTim Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Oh hell yes, it drives me 'bleeping' crazy. I'm so bad, that my wife and kids won't watch that kind of stuff with me, because I cant contain my annoyance. Harold and MikeMaben 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
