History

Dogfights is a military aviation themed TV series depicting historical re-enactments of air-to-air combat that took place in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, as well as smaller conflicts such as the Six-Day War, and the Falklands War. The program, which airs on the History Channel on Thurdays at 11:00 P.M. (EST), consists of former fighter pilots sharing their stories of actual dogfights in which they took part, and uses state-of-the-art computer-generated imagery (CGI) to give the viewer a better perspective of what it is like to partake in aerial combat ('camera' shaking when a plane makes a close pass or an explosion occurs close by adds to a realistic 'live experience', reminiscient of the Ace Combat game series). The series premiered on November 3, 2006.
