9 feet! Hell's bells!!!

It's rather good, isn't it?

I wonder what possessed that pilot to fly so low the bomb bounced back up into his plane!?!?

I wonder how many people died in that accident?

If it was a Mosquito, then I guess one pilot, and one bombardier. That would have been a test for "highball".

It was a Lancaster as far as I know!?

[davepoth]

It was a Boston (Douglas A20) or similar, twin engine, large tailplane

[Pupp]

Entertaining stuff, 'can't create honey out of dawg st...'

[16VJay]

The plane which lost it's tail was a Douglas A or B26 Invader, they could be flown solo so it could have been only one person on board.

This is flippin great, really well shot and looks great in HD. It's refreshing to see a show like this given a proper run time, instead've the normal rush through with these types of shows - this has really been able to explain the theories etc properly.

The boffins from the war are completely awe inspiring.

[ApexJimi]

This really is first-rate stuff.

Love it
