Haha....the FW-190's "impossible" maneuver was exceeded by the P-51 in another episode. This also suggests that the FW-190 has better maneuverability, so what the hell?

Furthermore, the P-51 was suffering from poor performance close to the deck unlike they explain on this show.

What the hell?

@SukhoiSu47 - plz note this is still basically a cartoon rendering of events.

@YouT00ber

It still has to be based on some history, doesn't it?

[YouT00ber]

@SukhoiSu47 - it is. the pilot told the story of his experience, and this is what the animators came up with to visualize his story.

i have never seen a formation like that from the (luff), very strange, that even as many as there is, the 190s still flying so badly.

Jesus Christ Diving in an Airplane at 24,000 feet is worse than riding the Tallest Rollercoaster in the world.

Hmm a very bad mistake! To many Benzedrine lozenges perhaps

this propaganda nonsense is not only embarassing

what we were taught in shool what only fascists and commies did

it's a growing problem

Canada created their own channel

but as soon as that company was purchased by a US company

their programming changed to these US-only series too

"Dogfights" doesn't even have allied fighter vs fighter victories represented

only US and israeli tales

there have been impartial series out there since 'world at war', History Channel won't show them

@agouti6 - it's called target demographic. look it up. pilots from other countries definately deserve to have their stories told, but it's not a the responsibility of a US basic cable channel to tell them. these other countires... they have television, yes?

w/ any luck these other countries respect the service their own countrymen gave and tell their stories.
