Would have loved all that when I was a kid.

I enjoyed dogfights, I just wish they would cover some of the pilots and battles from some perspective other than american (or israeli). For example, the highest scoring ace in history was a german, with 352 kills, but there has been no mention of him yet. On the other hand, the quality of the animation has improved dramatically from the first season to the second.
After the success of "dogfights" the history started a new series called "battle 360" where they follow the USS enterprise through every battle it went through in WWII. It has been really interesting watching the transition from japanese dominance in numbers, skill and technology in 1942 through to the end of the war where the situation was totally reversed, and japan was basically using empty carriers as bait as a last resort.
