“Annie Jacobsen is one of the u0026quot;historiansu0026quot; in this documentary and she strikes me as a moron. She describes the Skunk Works team as a u0026quot;bunch of nerdsu0026quot; and describes stealth aircraft as u0026quot;invisible airplanes.u0026quot; Her characterization of this complex and nuanced time in US aviation history was both reductive and annoying to listen to. She sounded like she was trying to teach something she didnu0026#39;t understand to a kindergarten classroom. Why did the producers cast someone so clueless to speak on this subject?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe rest of the documentary was really brilliant stuff. But I was repeatedly annoyed by the dim-witted narration by Jacobsen.”
