This question has been asked several times before (see below), but looks like the most recent was about a year ago.

Thoughts on why are also appreciated.

I don't tend to watch documentaries often but when I do they usually are 3 main subjects that I always have a constant interest in 1.History documentaries:I love to watch history documentaries when I get the chance to but I rarely find them I would love to know good places of where to watch them I have a main focus on when king Henry the 8th(VIII) was in rule and also both world wars more specifically pearl harbor and Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the second world war(or Japan and Hawaii in general) 2.Air force/cool A$$ planes:I love the air force there planes are so cool my favorite has to be the B-2 and the nighthawk is also cool there's a nice kind of recent documentary that's on Netflix I believe its called Thunderbirds(not 100% on that) it is about 2 hours long and it shows the process of how people get trained to do airshows its nice and I would also love recommendations on what else to watch 3.horror/true crime:I haven't watched documentaries on this but I would love to find some I watch things that are similar to documentaries of it but not 100%

I would love any recommendations and will try to watch them
