Books aren't immune from falsifying information, but neither is any medium. At least with properly researched and written books cross checking via the bibliography is possible, whereas with dvd documentaries that is hardly ever an option.
Example: In an otherwise excellent DVD documentary on the Hawker Typhoon a well respected aviation historian said that early Typhoons were delivered with eight .303 Brownings because there was a shortage of the weapons; okay, where did that information come from, and how is it possible to x-reference for confirmation?
