Taking two years to make, and compiled from nearly 12 million feet of Allied and enemy film footage, there had been little to compare with it in terms of scale, depth and content. This landmark series represents an important piece of television history and will give every viewer an honest telling of the development of airpower. Some of the highlights include; amazing footage taken from the nose of a Mosquito during low level attacks, camera's placed on the wings of various aircraft and a dozen other earth grazing operations. This series will make your hair stand up on end. Written by W A Mckibben See less
