Country: | I personally don't have cable myself, I discovered Dogfights last summer while at a Hotel while on vacation in Washinton D.C. last summer. 
In fact it was this trip with visits to the NASM which rekindeled my interest in this subject and led me to this site! (I've always been interesed in aviation as well as history, with both Grandfathers being involved with flying along with a couple close family friends being involved with it, but this really got me interested in the topic again) | |

Country: | The ELBE episode was great, however the name is still in question.... I believe Erich has info on this that proves the "Detachment ELBE" moniker to be a farce...
I really enjoyed the LW inteviews and honesty about what they did and for what reasons.... I would assume that the tail gunner aboard the B-17 in the last segment was lost, but they didnt say...

Country: | I think he was Les. But the tail gunner in the B-24 survived, they said they all made it out.
I don't have cable (refuse to buy into a monopoly) so these are great when they're posted like this.

Country: | I'm hoping somebody on youtube will post Death of the Luftwaffe.
Anybody seen it?
I saw the nightfighters episode yesterday on youtube (finally) and it was pretty cool. P-61, that's a first for movies!
I'm hoping if they do a season three they could do one with Dick Bong and his P-38.
