Warplane

Knights of the sky, locked in mortal combat. Genius inventors and technological wunderkinds, toiling feverishly against the rising tides of wars. The fighter, the bomber, the pathfinder, the spy -each brought new aerial roles to burgeoning air forces, and together they transformed the way countries wage war. This 4-hour series, the story of the evolution of air power, is laden with tales of inspiration, determination, bravery and chance that were fashioned in humble laboratories and sky-high battlefields. It offers a radically different history lesson, tracing the bold technological leaps that hastened victory and changed the face of aerial combat forever.
