Dogfights -The Complete Season 2 (History Channel)

Like the first season, this is more about modern dogfight. has some WW2 stuff as well. Very good way to learn about history, and looked really good CGI as well.

If you love airplanes and military history - this is one of the greatest series ever put together. Too bad History Channel doesn't have the show anymore. The graphics are spectacular and the stories are great. This season especially, since it shows battles from the "enemy" perspective (Japanese and German) in some of the episodes.

season 2 of the popular Dogfights series as seen on the History Channel (and Military History Channel)... awesome series for anyone interested in aerial combat from WWI, WWI, Korean & Vietnam conflicts, and a few air battles from more recent times in the middle east. the series combines excellent CGI graphics with interviews of experts/historians and the real pilots who were there to explain the situations and the tactics they used.
it's a great thing to have these interviews on record as the members of this generation (WWII) won't be with us for a whole lot longer...
I noticed that in season 2 they improved the graphics of the ground/terrain over that which was seen in season 1... not a huge deal but does make the whole thing look a bit more realistic.
too bad it seems the series has been canceled but the great CGI technology seems to be living on in another series call "Battle 360" - also worth checking out for WWII history buffs.
only complaint is that just like in the season 1 DVD set, they didn't edit out the post commercial break re-cap segments - this gets very annoying when watching several episodes in one sitting... other then that, highly highly recommended for the air combat buff.

Amazingly produced, expertly put together. Very well made for a bargain!

My son loves this and talks about it all the time .. there's stuff I've learnt, I've never known in all my life.

The highlight for him was a trip on board USS Midway in San Diego.

This one is for keeps. And ... did I mention very inexpensive for a very well produced series ?

Love the cgi mid air camera shots, just like being there with a jet pack strapped on your back and a video cam in your hand. Every detail is considered, down to the jet exhaust heat wave and vibration of the camera as jets go past at mach1. Just imagine being there, freezing your testicles off trying to get the camera angle. Thats what it looks like from the cgi footage. Simply brilliant.
