Robin Olds...the man responsible for developing tactics that nearly wiped out the entire NVAir Force:salute:
Bjoern
worst developer ever
It's been a while but I've watched the whole "Dogfights" series. Not bad, but the CG scenes were a bit repetitive as was the lengthy reintroduction of everything after (the cuts for) the commercial breaks.
Interesting subjects 'though. Six-Day War, WW1, Serbia, etc...
Olds' feat was tricking the MiGs into an attack of a perceived "normal" strike which, in reality, was an all-fighter force. The whole operation also concentrated more on the more dangerous MiG-21s than the more common and numerous MiG-17s.
The operation can be considered for its outcome (7:0 kills) and rendering the -21s useless for a few times until the NVAF adapted their tactics.

Most damage to the NVAF was dealt by bombing their airfields, mostly during Linebacker.Robin Olds...the man responsible for developing tactics that nearly wiped out the entire NVAir Force:salute:
