Good points about Dogfights. Tivo material. Agree they should stick to air battles and leave the sea battles to another show. Sea battles are very cool to watch, given the graphics work they do. But Les hit it on the head, they need to get back to the dogfights. Would love to see them do McCambell over the Phillipine Sea or Sept. 15th, 1940 over London. Now those would be cool. Or the raid on Schwienfort (SP).

Another show on great sea battles would be a great idea.

Erich Hartman in the "Blonde Knight of Germany" describes a mission where he and his wingman spotted two formations of allied fighters, one higher than the other (P-51 higher - Yaks lower) and both where probally eyeballing each other when Erich and wingy in tow dove through them firing. He pressed to the deck and as he was egressing the locale he observed both formations mixing it up and he got clean away.
