I’ve only watched the first two (of eighteen) episodes because the next one gets into things they call “jets” that I’ve never paid much attention to, but those two are chock full of:  
[ul]  
[li]Footage, almost none of which I’ve seen before, though some is “recreated” in black and white with fake scratches.[/li][li]Aircraft, some of which I’ve never even heard of, which is saying something.[/li][li]Rusglish! Tons and tons of fractured English! I think a person who spoke good English was going to translate the script, but he was packed off to a gulag when they discovered Google Translate.[/li][/ul]
