It was on Sky Sat channel 'Movies For Men' and the doc was called 'Fighters of World War 2'. WW2 docs are shown regularly during the late afternoon covering all aspects of the conflict. This was a particualrly interesting one given the number of WW2 pilots who described their experiences and thoughts of the ac they flew in combat. I would imagine it was a fairly old documentary rather than recent as I doubts that many of the WW2 pilots are still with us. Some excellent comabat footage and a great training video for P38 pilots concerning landing and correct method for bailing out to avoid slamming into the rear stabiliser. The video was in the form of a cartoon; humerous but highlighting the consequences of not landing on all 3 wheels or bailing out correctly.
