A  Bf109G6 = 50,000 Reich Marks

A pilot with a couple hours training = 2 Phennig

The act of destroying a perfectly good aircraft for little or no result = Priceless

Warning to Rauchen.

A few nasty blood spattered cockpit scenes.



Just a friendly 'heads up'.

Can't agree with that.  

Once again they have wasted an episode on combat that was not a dogfight.  I realize they are trying to use actual people and that has to be dictating their shows, but there has to be some fighter pilots that actually did air to air combat in WWII in the European Theather around somewhere still.

They need to rename the series to "Computer Generated Repeats every 10 mins telling you what we already told you involving anything but air to air combat."

TV Guide would love it.

Tonights Dogfight unfortunately was the most boring I've seen to date.

The first 43 mins. were devoted to Kamakazi attacks on the destroyer laffe.

That was a little much for me.  Although interesting how can one keep interested when watching the same actions for 43 minutes?  When the FM2s and the F4U's came to the aid of the laffe it perked it up somewhat.

I turned it off at that point and hope in future episodes it gets more interesting.

I found the ramming 109s very interesting.  I think I'll go up a 109, empty all the guns but leave the MG at 60 rounds, and ram a bomber.  lol, I can't help but want to try it now.
