I'm very much alive and kicking but there's a big mistake in that video. 3:50-4:00 they say that the sound barrier was broken on December 9, 1946. That's when the X-1 made it's first flight, not when it broke the barrier.
Now I feel like part of my childhood was a lie.
There are factual errors here and there, but Wings was pretty accurate most of the time. I can forgive their errors, though, as the video footage is usually top-notch.
