World Flight - Vol. 1

The history of warfare entered a radically new era in the 20th Century when man took his weapons into the sky. Not long after the Wright Brothers first conquered heavier-than-air flight, the advent of the First World War launched an unending cycle of competitive innovation to create the fastest - and deadliest - military aircraft. Today, man and machine have become a seamless composite of precision aerial firepower, as jets and helicopters quickly push land-based armor into obsolescence.

Produced for The Military Network, these "World Flight" episodes document the history of modern aerial warfare with a heavy emphasis on the latest cutting-edge aeronautical advancements. Incredible footage of the world’s most powerful airborne weaponry is combined with in-depth historical narration in these compelling documentaries.
