For Love of Liberty: The Story of America's Black Patriots -- If US history is to be believed, then the face of the Armed Services was white. For Love of Liberty finally sets the record straight for the 2.5 million black soldiers who fought in American wars, whose efforts are largely unaccounted for. Episode 56 -- R. Lee Ermey does some fancy footwork, fencing his way through the gear of the French Musketeers and sizes up two of the greatest fighter planes of WW2 - the American F6F Hellcat and the Japanese A6M Zero.
