It's hard to believe those are computer generated! At least, the exterior views . . .  the pilots look a little "robotish", but these are some cool videos.  I think this is the same guy that did one about P-51's and KI-84's dogfighting over a Japanese village a couple of years ago.

Yeah it is the same dude. Masaru Tochibayashi (Tochy Suppon).

Those vids are from the DVD that comes with his book.

Here's his site. 2 older shorts and some beautiful aircraft short shorts there.
Also don't miss the "Airplanes" link to still shots of his CG models.

As a student of 3DCGI he makes me want to give it up (I'll never get that good). :)
