A few errors...
1. Narrators who pronounce "NASA" as though it were a city in the Bahamas (more of a personal pet peeve).
2. Did he actually imply that the propeller-driven Northrop YB-35 flying wing came after the jet-powered version? The jet version's designation was YB-49, but they showed a photo of it with the label YB-35.
3. The caption under the McDonnell XF-85 Goblin: "The smallest U.S. bomber".

Agreed. NBC Nightly News anchor pronounced it "nay-saw" when describing the Juno mission.

Youngsters! 
One other comment on the films of the Bartini Beriev VVA-14 "sea" trials: I was surprised at how much water the jet engines were swallowing.
