With sorrow! - RAF Wartime Operations: 1944 (January to June) review by MB
Wonderful footage and info, all badly let down by the 4:3 footage being stretched to fit the screen. As far as I could see, there was no way of correcting this. Other than this EXCEEDINGLY annoying factor, the programmes were very interesting.
