I'd be interested if they'd get a new host and pay attention to their editing when they make the episodes. Thats got to be the worst show on the Military Channel. (Would be second if 'Showdown' was still on. That show made me sick.)

woo hoo! Thanks for the heads up, I've had an unhealthy obsession with that plane as of late. 
The 39D is particularly unhealthy to fly around the late war arenas. :)

Unfortunatly, there aren't alot of shows that cater to our common interest in WW2 aircraft.

So, I'll take what I can get with a grain of salt.  :noid

Wings is still the Gold Standard IMO. Nothing since comes close. Though at least Dogfights was entertaining.

Nope, nothing beats the cd's i have here. NOTHING

http://www.eztakes.com/store/movie/Flight-Check-Fighters-The-How-To-Fly-Series-Disc-1-Movie-Download.jsp

http://www.eztakes.com/store/movie/Flight-Check-Fighters-The-How-To-Fly-Series-Disc-2-Movie-Download.jsp


Cd 1 Is P-47 P-61 black widow Me 262
CD2 is P-38 P-39 P-40

They even go into detail in how the fule systems work and such, one of the best dvd's to show the details of the aircraft, this is what the boys in ww2 watched before sitting in the seats, and you cant beat that.

Most come with film showing exactly what settings you need to get the planes to start up, and trust me, no picture or videos go this into detail when it comes to eachA/C..guys..if you think any game even closely represents the real fighters of ww2, you have been mistaken. These things...are...complicated to say the LEAST. :Edit:

Trust me!!


Oh..a taste ;)   Watch the quick clips,youll understabnd what im talking about.



No jokes, no lies..get them, enjoy them..that go's for you too HTC!

Years ago, The Discovery Channel, had a series called "Great Planes", It was Excellent!!!
Discovery ran it under the title, "WINGS"... Some might remember it?
Film, commentary, was all good!!!   Had a narrator with a Brit accent, that didn't feel the need
to have his face on screen...  Aside from calling .50cals, 50mm, LOL, it was great stuff...
Have MANY of those old episodes on VHS... Lucky me, knew it would be worthwhile to keep em!!!

Watched an episode of the NEW, "Great Planes".... IT SUCKS!!!   Saw about 5mins of it, had to
turn it off... Don't they realize what a disservice they are doing!!!  Cheezy boob. as a narrator,
doesn't know doodly squat, and uses a really fake emotive style, that makes me want to SMACK HIM!!!
What a joke!!!
