Inaccuracies at the Museum of Flight

• The "original" Boeing factory building I was apparently standing in was 2 miles away from the original factory.
• Yuri Gagarin was the first man in the space, regardless of how many "misdemeanours" the Soviets had.
• Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon, not the first "man made object" on the moon.
• The Blue Angels are not "quite simply the greatest aerobatic display team in the world"
• The 707 was not the first jet powered airliner; it was actually the third.
• The 707 is not provide the first transatlantic jet service.
• Air Force One is not "the most important aircraft in the world".
• Concorde was not only supersonic passenger airliner, nor was it the first. Though the latter is debatable depending whether you use first flight or first revenue service as the success measure.
• Concorde's first revenue service went no where near American; if I remember correctly it was banned from America due to noise regulations.
• Whilst the AV-8A was developed partly by McDonnell Douglas, it does not make the Harrier American.
• The second world war did not begin when America joined it; the Battle of Britain was summarised in 1 bullet as "Britian's Brief Resistance"
• The pacific theatre was not the most important in the war (The entire WW2 exhibit was dedicated to it)

They were also very good and putting US aircraft next to their Soviet adversaries and pointing out how much better then the American design was. What they failed to point out was how that the Soviets had already launched their next aircraft.

The one thing that I was impressed by was that the WW1 exhibit highlighted the fact that the Americans didn't have air power in the war but other countries did.
