Can you spot the imposter?

I was watching this video and noticed something that just didn't fit in.

P.S. I expect this thread to be moved to the theatre section, but it does bring up the topic of inaccuracies in old newsreels and old movies.... but sadly, current shows still screw up a little too. They are improving though.

Do you mean the A-20's and the B-25 clips thrown in?

Not inacurate, just poorly spliced. Whoever put it together cut it in places to just show Mossies. The initial commentary talked about bombers of RAF 2 TAF which had A20s and B25s. I would guess the original newsreel showed RAF Mitchells and Bostons along with Mossies.

Not the very same editors who run a clip of a radial engined aircraft and give us two cylinder John Deere engine sounds? not the very same editors that love to show 8th AF B-17's dropping British round tailed bombs? Not those guys!! tell me it ain't so!!!!!! :axe: :finga: :butthead: :butthead:
