Showdown: Air Combat premiers in June 2008 on Discovery Network's Military Channel. Combines archived footage and pilots re flying famous encounters. Looks interesting.

I hope it's not from the ancient world wars, I'd be very disappointed.

no kidding, I'm so sick of the military channel spending 15 minutes on modern aircraft for their Modern marvels.

I don't care what aircraft did back in the day, I want a full hour on the Raptor, B-2 or Hornet etc....

Those aren't US planes so good luck with seeing those on the Military Channel.
