Dave

Are you sure they're going to shoot one or is it vintage WW2 film?

Not sure blaster... Guess i will have to watch and find out... Be a cool deal if they did though

It's the REAL hardware, guys!!! Tiger vs. Sherman, Spit vs. 109 Thank the Gods the Broncros play the "Haited Raidas" on Monday, so I won't have to miss it!!!

Glad the time doesn't conflict with Mail call, Need to see some Watermellons get blowed up real good by R. Lee.....

It must be showing on Discovery in the US, because I can't seem to find it up here. Doh!

Its three shows in a row.

The first at 8 pm et.

WORLD WAR I

In 1917, Europe was entrenched in World War I and aviation was in its infancy. The Sopwith Camel was king of the British fighter planes.The "Camels" shot down more aircraft than any other fighter in the war. Germany responded with the Fokker DR1 Triplane.

The second at 9 pm et.

WORLD WAR II

Normandy 1944, in one of the second world war's greatest showdowns, the American M4 Sherman, the finest tank the allies possessed, went head-to-head with the most destructive tank ever built - Germany's Panzerkampfwagen 6, better known as the Tiger.

the third at 10 pm et.

THE COLD WAR

The MIG 15, the Russian built state of the art jet fighter was light, agile and cheap to build. Its opponent, the original American Sabre F86 was high-tech, heavy and fast. The Korean War was the first time these swept-wing jet fighters faced each other.

I'm assuming, since they did show a spit and 109 in the commercial that this may be an ongoing series.

I watched that show on channel 5 in the uk, Interesting,its not a real tiger though check out the front drive sprocket its the mock up from private ryan and B.O.B. I watched the episode M16 V AK47 worth watching. :-)
