I saw a story today on a website about the 10 most fascinating experimental aircraft of World War II. I won't mention the website but you can find it easily. The story has photos of must of the airplanes. One of the ones listed is the British B-20 seaplane. Someone obviously didn't do their research. The photo with the B-20 is actually a photo of Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose.
He was probably going to do a back door deal and sell them to the Brits before it took forever to get built and the war ended first anyway.

I still think the worst repeating mis-identification on TV is the use of shots from the John Ford movie about Pearl Harbor, during what are supposed to be documentaries about the raid. They show that shot of SBDs divebombing the Arizona! Even PBS continually uses that shot in WW2 documentaries! History Channel also has done this a lot.

I saw a documentary on D-Day a few years back where they shoved footage of a T-34 in there, I wasn't aware the Soviets were involved...

Thats one of the big problems in life. The older you get and the more you learn, the more you find that other folks in positions to know better and tasked with spreading knowledge have not learned the correct information...

Looked at the post yesterday. They admit that it is not t B-20, but something similar in size. Do not really look the same.
I may get so drunk, I have to crawl home. But dammit, I'll crawl like a Marine.
