Not a fan of the commentary on the video. They make it sound like there was no fooling around or anything during the war...Pilots especially weren't on the front lines and would spend a good deal of the day sitting around until called upon. Makes me kinda go ??? wtf is the commentator talking about...

Most of the narrators haven't studied the war as most of us have. Best thing is to ignore the commentary. What I likes, was simply movie film of the pilots and aircraft. How worn the anti-skid on the Spitfire V's wing root was, for example.
