Season 2
Episodes
B-17 Flying Fortress
The background and development of one of the Second World War's most iconic bombers. The Boeing B-17 - known as the 'Flying Fortress' - served with both the USAAF and the RAF.
B-24 Liberator
Cruelly called 'the packing case the B17 came in', the B-24 Liberator more than proved its worth over Europe and the Pacific, patterning the B-17 to deliver a blow to the axis powers in the Second World War where it served in every branch of the American-armed forces, as well as several Allied air forces and navies.
B-25 Mitchell
The B-25, which was often called 'the forgotten bomber'. This mighty North American twin delivered the first blow in the fight back against Japan, in one of the most daring and audacious raids of all time over Tokyo in 1942.
A-1 Skyraider
Bell UH-1 Huey
F-15 Eagle
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, an aircraft that immediately turned the tide of the first Gulf War in 1990. An immaculately restored MiG Killer was involved in one of the most bizarre combat incidents during that conflict, and has survived to tell the tale.
