The show "Dogfights" a great show, but a bit biased?

[Danfried]

I enjoyed several episodes, but I did find some of the episodes to have an almost nauseatingly gung-ho, pro-American bias, in particular the Vietnam episodes.

If you're going to understand a particular battle, you really need to consult sources from both sides. That's one of the great things about the Battle of Britain -- we know about Goering's decisions hobbling his fighter pilots and affecting their tactics, and why for example German fighters were forced to stick closely to bombers instead of free-ranging.

We also know that both sides wildly over-claimed the number of enemy planes they shot down. You probably can't trust in any war what one side claims without verifying it with the other side -- not necessarily because of dishonesty, but because of the fog of war.
