who knows what dogfighting is? no it isn't 2 dogs fighting but air to air combat beetween 2 or more planes. quote from wikipedia "A dogfight or dog fight is aerial combat between fighter aircraft. The term originated during World War I.Modern terminology for aerial combat between aircraft is air-to-air combat and air combat maneuvering, or ACM."
Very few people know about this but it shaped our history with the 2 world wars it is an interesting thing and the games involved with it are fun. One i recomened is shockwings search it up on google it is a fun game.

I am currently training to be a pilot in the RAF and so yes i know all about dogfighting. I have undergone amny excercises. Its good to see someone else on AG who is interested in air power.

this kinda branches off a bit, but this thread reminded me of it. when i was watchin a war movie, i think pearl harbor, with my dad, he told me that it was the worst place to be (he wasnt even in the war, he got it from his dad). during the two world wars, at least i think it was both, they only had 1 radio channel. basically, everybody could hear the screams of the pilots being shot down. still sounds horrible as i write it. the whole dogfighting thing just reminded me of it

I like dog fighting, but space style.

Fighting is bad, and so is killing. Peace be with the world.
