NEW SERIES - HISTORY CHANNEL - AIR ACES

For those of us who lamented the demise of the Dogfights seried on the History Channel, they will air a new series starting this month call Air Aces.

This is interesting because I made a posting on the History Channel websight suggesting just such a series back when they announced cancellation of the Dogfights series. I recall listing about twenty of the top aces from WWI through to the Middle Eastern conflicts with a short story synopsis next to the better know aces. Who knows, maybe they actually do listen to the fans that watch their programming.

The series starts on 7 Jan with Buzz Beurling, then follows with Douglas Bader. Addition episodes to follow.

P.S. In my submission I really emphasised the incredible history of U.S. ace "Gabby" Grabeski who fought in WWII and Korea. Let's see if his story is included.

Got this marked on the calendar already, caught a commercial last week announcing it's start. Really looking forward to this....thks for the reminder dnr! ~S~ Hawk

Thanks DNR. Aside from a few shows on HBO and AMC, Netflix, and Treehouse I'm completely ignorant of television programming. I will set the DVR for this.

This does look good. I hope we get to see Johnnie Johnson as well.

Cheers, Dean!
