Computer graphics, animation, firsthand accounts, and archival footage make these thrilling and dangerous dogfights all too real.

The coup de grace of the Battle of Leyte Gulf – the spectacular finale to the naval war in the Pacific Theater – was administered by Taffy 3, a vastly outgunned U.S. Task Unit of tin can destroyers and baby flat-tops. A testament to will, doggedness and tactics over sheer firepower, this famous battle is a textbook example of naval strategy.

DOGFIGHTS recreates this phenomenal showdown with riveting detail and jaw-dropping effects. This is as deep into the action as you can get without risking your own life.
