The term DOGFIGHT refers to an aerial battle between fighter aircrafts, and actual dogfighting first appeared during World War I.
After the invention of the first airplanes for warfare, forward-firing machine guns were mounted on the fighter aircraft, which required the pilots to manoeuver themselves behind the enemy aircrafts. The aircrafts battling for the rear position resembled dogs fighting and chasing to catch one another’s tail, and therefore the term DOGFIGHT came about. In actual combat, DOGFIGHT is not all about chasing after the 6 o’clock position of the opponent. Tactical and effective fighter manoeuvres may depend on the advancement of aircraft, weapon and also specific combat situation. Pilots must react instinctively against the opponent’s position, speed and elevation, while considering his aircraft’s own turn radius and engine response rate. The pilot who secures the advantageous position will instantly hold the upper hand in the battle, applying an extreme pressure against the opponent.
DOGFIGHT tells the story of pilots courageously battling in the skies during the World Wars. Embracing an unwavering faith, they fought against fearand ultimately dedicated their lives for peace and stability. DOGFIGHT pilots followed the rules and ㅁbattle plans in fierce battlegrounds where no single mistake is allowed, all the while holding on to the integrity of respecting the sanctity of life. They were the greatest warriors of age who put everything at stake for their comrades and loved ones. Today, we still long for those DOGFIGHT pilots, the true flying aces with THE GENTLE COURAGE.
