Re: Dog Fights-History Channel "The Legend of Y-29" **NEW** on 3-7-08

Other than using IJN pilots to guide them - how does the Kiaten segment have anything to do with Dogfights - I am at a loss...

Why not show something about the V-1 and how RAF pilots brought them down. That would have been cool to see!

Too bad this series is ending...so many great stories left untold.

The Kaiten segment may have been a stretch but I really liked it. It should've been included in the Battle 360 instead!

I fully agree that RAF versus V-1s would be a terrific segment to include as there were a variety of warbirds used (late Mk Spitfires, Typhoons and Tempest, P-51B/C etc.) that
would make for very interesting story arcs for the Dogfights series.
