Great episode but I do wish it was a little more balanced instead of ‘America’ all the time. The British were caricatured in this and the voiceover fails to point out that night raids were a necessity due to fighting alone for 4 years and losing aircraft early on. By the time the US came in precision bombing was possible because of numbers and the technological development. The vast majority of British pilots were kids just like the Americans, not members of the gentry like portrayed.
The bravery of the men stands on its own in my opinion, not sure the narrative needs to try and layer perceptions instead of facts over this.
