Sorry, you missed Gun Camera. Check the Military Channel TV schedule for similar programming.

From the precision weapons of modern war to the aerial ballet of a dogfight, the gun camera has been a tool of reconnaissance and tactics since the dawn of flight and mechanized warfare. Climb into the cockpit as gun camera footage from nearly a century of war is analyzed, sometimes down to the frame, by a team of experts and the men who lived it.

Episode 1 — Moving Targets: The unwritten rule of war is: if it moves, shoot it. From the speeding supply trains of World War II to the desperate convoys of the war in Iraq, discover details of a half-century of war, including a debriefing with a WWII ace and his gun camera footage.

Episode 2 — Air Supremacy: The lesson of World War II was simple: rule the skies and win the war. Through the lens of a camera experience 500-mph dogfights, deadly strafing airfield runs and the gritty 50-caliber hell of helicopter warfare in Vietnam.

Episode 3 — Fixed Targets: Join Gun Camera on a search for the three B's: bunkers, bridges and buildings. Experience, firsthand, fixed target aerial assaults, including bombing runs over Europe and fiery attacks on the Vietnam jungle.
