Doubtless the regulars in this NG are aware of a weekly television
show titled "Dogfights" on the History Channel (that's what its called
in Canada, probably the same in the USA, not sure if its available
overseas) but here's a heads-up to anybody that hasn't watched it.
Each show features a different airplane; the pix of the Crusader
variant caused me to recall a "Dogfights" episode about the Crusader-
it was titled "The Last of the Gunfighters" or something similar.
The program features some technically excellent computer-generated
graphics of the airplane under discussion along with photo footage,
and interviews with the brave men who piloted these planes (and in the
case of an aircraft with more than a single pilot, interviews with the
guy in the right-hand seat, bombardiers, navigators, WSO's).
This might have already been covered before; if so my apologies.
