Fighters of WWII (2001– ) User Reviews

Fun to Watch!

[GringoFX · 8/10 · 10 July 2021]

I really enjoyed this documentary with its abundance of aerial footage, fun facts and interviews of actual WW2 fighter pilots.

It's a pity though that the Soviet I-16 was repeatedly called 116.

Surely, in Latin alphabet an I looks very similar to a 1, but the Russian I is very different.

The I stands for fighter plane in Russian nomenclature.

Excellent and Entertaining Documentary on WW2 Fighters

This is a well-edited documentary of quite a number of fighters from WW2. It is quite ably narrated by Roy Ward, who is known for Prelude to War, The De Havilland Mosquito, The Great Battleships of the Second World War, and The Fall of France. His British accent really lends itself to the production, and makes it even more enjoyable. One can tell a great deal of film has been scrutinized to present each plane in very good detail with quality imagery. I have watched innumerable documentaries of WW2, and I cannot say I saw one clip that I recognized as having seen before.
