When George Lucas was first trying to explain the Tie-fighter and X-wing dog fights in Star Wars (1977) he used World War II dogfight recordings to convey the tension and action the way he imagined it. These visuals lead to the now common place air-to-air and space to space combat scenes we see today in television series like Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica.
