This is why I hate WW2 documentaries

If you go to this website:

http://www.comandosupremo.com/shop/itali...s-p-3.html

there is a film "Italian Airforce" and supposedly shows Italian bombers being attacked by UK spitfires. But if you know your aircraft and history, you will quickly recognize the Cliffs of Dover, the nose gunner/bomber of an HE111 and the tail fins of an ME110. The only part that is Italian is the beginning bombers at the start of the clip, and the burning bomber at the end.

Why is that we enthusiast can see these things, but people paid to to make such documentaries get it all wrong?

As I recall there was an Italian Air Force unit that did fight in the Battle of Britain. jonny
