It was made in 2005. Not sure if it was made by the Discovery Channel, but it was definitely recorded from their broadcast.

It’s only about 20 minutes of the total 150+ minutes of the documentary, so I wouldn’t go offering any babies just yet…

Thanks James. Yes I watched it and it did seem edited. Argh! If anyone has an idea where the full show is, I’d love to know about it !

Interesting that not all the video was Japanese made.
I saw a Japanes zero getting shot at in the first clip.
Either the plane that took the footage was shot down or Discovery ch. cheated a bit.
