Dogfights

Just wondering if anyone else is watching Dogfights that History TV shows.
I am absouletly addicted to it, It's one of a few shows I watch. i'm kind of a WW nut and I find most of the Dogfights shows are about WW2 aircombat.

Tonight there is a really cool episode on Secret weapons of the *****. in particular the rocket Me 163 which is quite a dangerous looking weapon.

I dont really have an interest in that kinda stuff. I dont mind some of the old war machiens they used back in the day though. Some of that stuff was pretty tough.

I didnt know you were a ww nut either man, thats pretty cool.

I watch it whenever I can, there was some pretty amazing stuff going on while those guys were flying those planes. Did you see the one last week about the germans raming the bombers with their 109's

I watch it every chance I get. They have even expanded the format to included navy engagments and tank battles. It makes you wonder how tough those guy really were.

I got the impression no one knows for sure because they didn't want the pilots to know what the germans where really trying to do so they were just chalking it up as air accidents.
