The scary thing is that the more often these things are shown the closer they are to becoming fact.....
Through televsion and media the current generation all know that the RAF fought the battle of Britain almost exclusively with Spitfires and the only heavy bomber we used was the Lancaster!
Slightly more positive: I thought was the program at the weekend on the development of "oboe" was good. The narrator always used the term "sqaudrons of heavies" rather than the usual "squadrons of Lancasters" all the time.
