on PBS tonight. Your schedules may differ. "Secrets of the Dead" had a bit on Sakai's dogfight with an F4F. The wreckage of the F4F had been found on Guadalcanal and was investigated to find why the pilot didn't take a shot at Sakai when he had the position and opportunity. Sakai shortly after this fight ran afoul of some TBFs.
"Warplane, Pt.1" followed after and covered WWI & WWII. Next week will continue to the present.
I missed the Nova program on Santos-Dumont last night. I hope to catch it on the weekend.
Suddenly there's something worth watching on the telly!
