Fake footage

Some of the footage of the Japanese planes are actually American planes. Specifically a formation of "Japanese planes" are actually doctored footage of American Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers. They clearly made them look like Japanese planes with the red circle insignia. Very disappointed. The historical value of this documentary is completely discredited by using this false information.
