Summary

Disc 1: "Military aviation grows from its beginnings at Kitty Hawk in 1903, to the audacious men in their flying machines of WWI and the development of air power between the wars. German and Japanese air forces gain the early advantage in WWII. The Allies, facing superior numbers and warplanes, struggle to fight back. Backed by American industrial strength, thousands of warplanes and aviation crews join the fray, with new generations of fighters and bombers. A truly global campaign for air supremacy begins against the Axis powers in the skies over Europe, North Africa and the Pacific."--Container sleeveDisc 2: "The tide turns as the sheer numbers of warplanes and the aviation skill of the American and Allied aircrews expand their domination of the sky. Escorted by newer, faster fighters; larger and more deadly American bombers take the fight to the heart of fortress Europe, destroying the German war making capacity. Air power proves to be the deciding factor in modern warfare."--Container sleeve
