A palpable sense of excitement cuts through the crowd tuning in to tonight’s Dogfights Marathon on The History Channel. First up, “Long Odds,” as small group of American dive bombers, not cut out for a real combat, go up against a huge phalanx of Japanese zeros. Our diver bombers break left as the pursuing zeros overshoot and leave themselves vulnerable to American attack. But the slow American dive bombers can’t pursue and instead pull heavy g’s in a 180 turn that leaves an American headed directly into a better armed zero. The planes are closing…..no time for more live blogging of tonight’s Dogfights Marathon. Tune into the History Channel yourself ASAP.
