Good but should have been better

I enjoyed this but felt that it could have been so much better had they left out more of the dramatizations and fabrications about Richtofen's personal life and focused more on history, settings, and individualizations (often it was hard to tell who was who). They also, perplexingly, left out pretty much everything about his final battle, including the connection to his earlier head injury (probably causing him to do things that left him open to being shot down by a ground gunner) - an injury they did instead belabor for other reasons. Worth watching, though.
