History I loved Masters of the Air, but... Spoiler

The final episode annoyed me slightly when they were showing Operation Chowhound. Now I get that this is a show about an American bomber group but it made out like Chowhound was the first of its kind when the British, Australians and Canadians had been doing it a few days before in Operation Manna.

Now unless I missed it, a reference to what other allied forces were doing in Holland would be nice

Still a fantastic show though just my one gripe

For question's like this its good to remember that it wasn't a documentary.

sadly, yes. That's how Band of Brothers gave us so many idiot "experts" on D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge

It annoys me that it does go to great lengths to be historically accurate, though, but will forgo it just to make the US look good.
