I guess you must never watch TV if you've never seen The Blue Max. It's a great classic. Red Baron was released a while ago, it's been available on dvd and blu-ray for some time.
The US was nervous about the Soviet planes because they were confused by the mig-25 and the su-27, which they thought were the same plane. They thought it was a mach-3.2 plane that could also dogfight.
I don't think the US was ahead of the Russians as far as dogfighting planes went. Mig-29's can handle f-16's, and su-27's and f-15's are about even. The US has developed stealth but the Russians have developed OVT. Stealth tech won't last as long as OVT.
