Interesting to see the difference between a British and American documentary.
The Americans would briefly mention the French - quite possibly coughing audibly over their achievements - whilst managing to aggrandise themselves at the same time. Then you'd have a jump cut to 1955 with a montage of strategic bombers and hydrogen bomb test footage. To remind the peons who's boss, you know?
@beastatlay I agree with you completely, i think the difference may be in the UK we've already achieved more than enough to need to say how good we are every 10 minutes in a documentary. British accomplishments speak for themselves.
KrisRamJ - well done on pre-empting the chauvinist fuckwits!
So, um, anyone here ever flown a plane? I saw one, once. Over Campbeltown. It was green and grey and was dead, dead noisy. I think it was British Airways, I think. Or KLM. KLM carry missiles, don't they?
Jeez, what's with the aggression? I was simply pointing out that on every other video about air forces the comments are filled with pathetic rubbish about how that person's air force is better than any of the others.
Hilarious. Best comments ever.

• Best airforce in the world.
• No, I think the US Air Force is better.
• You don't know what you're talking about.
• The Swedish air force would kick all of your butts.
etc
Just thought I'd better get it out of the way, sorry!
