Originally, during WWI (1914-1918) those wooden cloth covered airplanes with two or three wings (bi-planes & tri-planes) only flew about 100 mph (maximum). When they fought in the skies, chasing each other, twisting and turning around each other, and snarling at each other (blasts from machineguns)...it resembled dogs fighting. Jet fighting, during the Korean War (1950-1953) and Vietnam War (1961-1975) certainly did not resemble the aerial combat of 1914; Jets in the Vietnam War were fighting at 800 mph for the F100 Super Sabres and 1200 mph for the Starfighters, and over 1,400 mph for the Phantoms...and these machines were constructed of all metal; but they still called them "dog-fights." Note: Histories one & only "super-sonic" dog-fight kill with guns occurred over the skies of North Vietnam, when a USAF F4 Phantom II shot down a North Vietnamese MiG-19.
