Product description Aviation Week Ultimat .com This DVD features two complete programs spanning the entire history of aerial combat. The first program tells virtually the entire story of fighter aircraft, beginning with the biplanes piloted by pioneering aces in World War I. Through archival footage and interviews with veterans, the evolution of fighter planes through the decades is detailed, and the pivotal role played by fighter pilots in World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam is examined. The second program on the disc gives the viewer a look at the modern training programs for fighter pilots, with a particular focus on the intense training America pilots receive in air combat maneuvering (ACM) classes. Great fighter pilots hone their skills endlessly, and the cameras follow American fighter jocks who take to the air and engage in mock combat with instructors flying jets that mimic those of enemy powers. The cameras aboard a modern fighter provide a pilot's-eye view of the adversary, down to how an enemy jet would look while in the sights of the advanced electronic weapons system that would launch an air-to-air missile. These programs are intelligently assembled and very well photographed, and together they provide an entertaining and informative look at how fighter planes and tactics have developed over more than 80 years. --Robert J.

Very Poor Quality for a Documentory
I bought "Fighter Pilot" and this was recommended as another film to buy. I was very disappointed and wished I hadn't purchased this film/documentary. I would ask that it be removed from recommendations.

Great video but...
I bought this video as a gift for my husband. He was thrilled when he opened the package and wanted to watch it right away. I put it into our DVD player and got an error message saying the playback feature may not be available on this disc. Thinking there was some kind of problem with the disc I immediately contacted Amazon and requested a replacement. The exchange went fine, no problems there. The new disc arrived today but unfortunately the same error message appears when trying to run it on our DVD player. I tried putting the disc in my PC and it runs fine there thank goodness. Unfortunately my husband prefers to view videos on the TV as the picture is larger and easier for him to see. We will keep the disc but wish there was no problem playing it through the DVD player.

Every Aviation enthusiasts dream
I have seen many programs on military aircraft ranging from dog-fighting to the desert storm , yet all seem to have come short atone piont. They never give significant detail on the aircraft.This program is different. Ultimate Dogfighting gives an in-depthlook at the aircraft, pilots, and manuvers that our and otherarmed forces use. Not only does it have a range of aircraft italso gives you views of the cockpit and all of the controls andflightstick buttons. Plus, with an bonus footage sectionsfeaturing a precise look at the F-16, this DVD is worth the moneyand will keep you keep you pausing it to look at the awesomestill picture.
