[Milsurplus] (in)Credible TV vs. the RS-6

[Bob Wilder]

Sorry I brought up the idea of using "Mail Call" to track down RS-6 history.
I realize that they make mistakes in some of their history shows, BUT, they
do have sources and connections to dig out info that the average person
does not have.

Guess we should be thankful that they at least make an effort, although it doesn't seem like doing it right would be all that much more difficult (or expensive) - just different.
