Narrator: December 1950, jet fighters roar across the skies above Korea. For half a century dogfights have been won or lost with propeller planes driven by piston engines. Now for the first time in history, swept wing fighters with jet engines slug it out at extreme altitudes and near supersonic speeds. American F-86 Sabres head to head against the communist MiGs. Their contrails will write a new chapter in the annals of air warfare in a place call MiG Alley. Experience the battles, dissect the tactics, relive the dogfights.
