Tough quiz, but fun. 3/10. I was a big fan of Black Sheep Squadron and think the wording of #2 was overly deceptive. I knew it was a real unit, but the word "multitude" makes it false.

The main reason I did this quiz is that many people think of WW2 as the European war, and thus don't realize just how much was fought in the Pacific. Plus, I think that Black Sheep Squadron is a better show than Hogan's Heroes.
