Did anyone else see this? I just caught part of it last night, and it looked pretty interesting.

It ran for two hours, so it must cover a lot of ground - what I saw detailed an encounter from WWII (a dogfight of Bud Anderson's) through Korea (a dogfight of Frederick C. 'Boots' Blesse, who later wrote "No Guts, No glory").

They have it for sale on their site, so I'm thinking of ordering it. Anybody have any opinions?

My favorite part was watching the Duke's fight at the end. I had no idea that a big plane like the F-4 would spend much of its fight in only Mil power. I loved how when they got hit by the SAM they managed to hold the plane together just long enough for it to fall apart and still carry them feet wet for ejection.

It sounds like a good show, so I'm glad I ordered it. It won't ship until the end of January, but I'm looking forward to getting it.

It looked like they only produce a DVD of it when it's ordered, so I wonder what the quality of it will bem.
