A question to the group.
Is the History channel distorting the facts?
I have noticed in recent weeks a number of totally incorrect comments
.eg Americans landing in Rabaul during WW2,(its Rab owl by the way
not Rab
all)


Never heard that, is certainly an error


The shooting down of Yamamoto's aircraft was an assassination..


That's pretty much what it was.


B17's being used during the day in Europe as they were precision
bombers not carpet bombers as the RAF were ?


US raids on Berlin, RAF raids on Berlin - what's the difference?



They are a few of very many I can recall.


Personally I have bigger problem with the way the market
their shows than the content. "The mystery of...", "the truth
is finally revealed", etc.

Ah thats another of my gripes as well, the bigger better best approach.
My question on the B17's probably related to the fact the program totally
ignored the Dams,the Tirpitz,etc all involving a touch of precision and
you could hear the disdain in the commentators tone when referring to the
RAF. This is not to denigrate the men who did the job, thanks to them I
am able to write this .......
I figured the shooting down of Yamamoto whilst obviously a payback was
done during wartime hence not an assassination but I see your point.
