 Dogfights - Season 2 box set November 18, 2008
season 2 of the popular Dogfights series as seen on the History Channel (and Military History Channel)... awesome series for anyone interested in aerial combat from WWI, WWI, Korean & Vietnam conflicts, and a few air battles from more recent times in the middle east. the series combines excellent CGI graphics with interviews of experts/historians and the real pilots who were there to explain the situations and the tactics they used.
it's a great thing to have these interviews on record as the members of this generation (WWII) won't be with us for a whole lot longer...
I noticed that in season 2 they improved the graphics of the ground/terrain over that which was seen in season 1... not a huge deal but does make the whole thing look a bit more realistic.
too bad it seems the series has been canceled but the great CGI technology seems to be living on in another series call "Battle 360" - also worth checking out for WWII history buffs.
only complaint is that just like in the season 1 DVD set, they didn't edit out the post commercial break re-cap segments - this gets very annoying when watching several episodes in one sitting... other then that, highly highly recommended for the air combat buff.
Good stuff ! November 2, 2008
Amazingly produced, expertly put together. Very well made for a bargain!
My son loves this and talks about it all the time .. there's stuff I've learnt, I've never known in all my life.
The highlight for him was a trip on board USS Midway in San Diego.
This one is for keeps. And ... did I mention very inexpensive for a very well produced series ?
 How close can you get to the action?!! October 30, 2008
Love the cgi mid air camera shots, just like being there with a jet pack strapped on your back and a video cam in your hand. Every detail is considered, down to the jet exhaust heat wave and vibration of the camera as jets go past at mach1. Just imagine being there, freezing your testicles off trying to get the camera angle. Thats what it looks like from the cgi footage. Simply brilliant.
Best of the Series... September 26, 2008
This is by far the best episodes of the entire series. Updated graphics, more interesting stories, and as always, War Vet. interviews. I am upset that they cancelled the series for shows like ice road truckers, but what can you do... By this season, support actual history.
1 Defect but a great product! August 13, 2008

Dogfights, Season 2 is a great series!
The only problem I had is on disc 5. In the first episode on the disc (Supersonic); the historian, Barrett Tillman, is speaking near the end of the episode when it abruptly ends with him in mid-sentence!
I thought perhaps it was a defect in the one series that I had received so I sent for another set and it had the same flaw. I'm assuming every set has the same defect.
It is obviously an oversight in the original editing by The History Channel.
