This is a documentary that focuses more on emotional side of the war than actually giving you information. As a matter of fact, the documentary contains almost no new information that most people didn't already know.
It doesn't talk about the war itself or any of the specific missions that were done within the war but mostly about how scary it was for the people involved, how they felt, how their feelings evolved over time and so on.
I found it a bit repetitive at times. How many different ways can you say "air force personnel were scared for their lives". This documentary tries to say it 20-30 different ways if not more. Every episode eventually comes down to the fact that it was scary. We get it, flying air missions during WW2 was scary, we really heard it the first 100 times. The documentary would be better off if it actually provided something beyond repeating the same point 100 times.
It looks like they had some colored videos from WW2 and they wanted to create a documentary out of those videos but they didn't really think it through and they didn't really have a plan about what they wanted to make this documentary about.
