I very much enjoyed the first episode as it brought back memories of what that kind of flying was like.
There of course has to be lots of hype put into these stories to entertain the general public and they did a pretty good job in that regard.
Now if they really want to show what flying these airplanes was like in the days of the wooden ships and the iron men they should show some footage of flying the DC3's on wheel / skis and only using airports as a departure and return home landing place. Real pilots don't need runways.
Good stuff though and looking forward to the next show.
