Bangkok--15 Sep--Image Impact Program Title: No Room for Error Channel: The History Channel on TrueVisions (A23) and (D44) Telecast date: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 Telecast Time: 9.00 p.m. It’s where a pilot can ill afford to make a mistake…but where dogfights are so often drawn. Down to the deck-at treetop level-where the margin for error is zero. On July 26, 1944, Lt. Art Fiedler has the number four slot in a flight of P-51Ds, tasked with performing long-range bomber escort. The bombers are jumped by 64 Fw190s, the most feared fighter in the German arsenal. Fiedler wings over and dives on the attacking Germans, breaking their attack and initiatinge a wild, swirling dogfight that tumbles its way toward the earth. Fielder claims two kills in the intense, low-level fight. But in doing so he witnesses first hand the grim and grisly reality of low-level dogfighting. May 15, 1952. Capt. James Kasler leads a two-ship element in a flight of four F-86E Sabre jets. Kasler spots three silver MiG-15s heading the opposite direction at an altitude of about 1,000 feet. He dives in behind the lead MiG, shredding it with his fifty caliber machineguns. Kasler’s wingman claims the second MiG, but the third enemy fighter gets the drop on him. Kasler breaks into the enemy’s attack and scares it off the hunt. A chase begins. Kasler doesn’t know it, but the MiG is leading him right into a trap…directly over the Chinese air base at Antung. Flak bursts everywhere, but neither the Americans nor the Korean pilot is hit. The chase continues to the sea. With a thick black haze over the coast, it is impossible to distinguish the ground from the sky. The planes are so low that Kasler doesn’t realize what kind of danger he’s in. Kasler chases the MiG into the mud. He barely avoids the same fate himself. The maneuvering kill makes him an ace. May 20, 1967. Col Robin Olds and backseater Lt. Steve Croker lead two flights of four F-4Cs over North Vietnam. Their mission - provide MiGCAP for the F-105 strike force currently targeting a rail yard near Kep airfield. Nearly 20 miles from the target area, the flight is bounced by 16 MiG-17s. The intense dogfight spirals its way down to the deck, where there’s no room for error. Olds’ looses a wingman to enemy fire and claims the last two kills of his career. In the aerial battleground of World War II, the P-51 Mustang proved itself to be a top-flight dogfighter, a stunning combination of speed and combat range. From Europe to the Pacific and beyond, the mighty Mustang becomes the most famous warbird in history. For more information please contact: Chutinun Guna-Tilaka (Poupe'e) Image Impact Ltd.
