Please note this is a region 2 DVD & will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play From the very beginning aviation s pioneers believed that the aircraft s future lay in its military uses That was where the money lay & so that was where the pioneers pitched their products The problem was that their designs could barely carry a man more than a few yards & so many military commanders were sceptical about aviation s real potential as a weapon of war But the First World War changed all that & by the end of the war in 1918 aviation had proved itself & all countries has burgeoning air forces Since then there have been many great combat aircraft either because they were brilliant in their role or they just happened to be the right aircraft in the right place at the right time In this programme we profile some of the greatest It is by no means the complete guide as there simply is not enough room in one programme to include them all But we hope you will agree that those we have featured would appear on anyone s top twenty list of all-time greats
