Nick, Maybe we are lucky to have an English narration. The care the producers put into the product shows and it obviously wasn't too important to them. A quick check of the script by someone fluent in English could have made a big improvement. The actual narrator was good.

Personally I think it's a good, interesting and varied video with excellent film clarity, I think it's rather unfair to question the narrator's English skills - they're commendable since it's a second language to him. I am English and my Russian is non existent !

An interesting program. I find some statements are made that may be debatable such as the one about the strengths of BF109 and FW190. Especially with the FW190 this depends which version. The FW190D was a mack or better than the bf109G but most of the 190D may have gone to the west where high altitude was more common. The 190A were better suited for bombing and such and went east.

What really bothers me is why they don't use an announcer without better English skills?
