Some fascinating library footage, but overall, it missed the "target" implied in the title IMHO.

As a record of some individuals' experiences, again, fascinating. I thought John did ok and it was interesting to hear his thoughts on the cold war's potential for mutual destruction. Should not the point have been made that this awful scenario was the deterrent to crossing the wire after a period of conventional air fighting? I don't blame John for this, who knows what was left on the cutting room floor?

It was great to see Geoffrey "boy" Wellum whose own experiences are brilliantly told in his book "First Light".

Overall, a missed opportunity.
