In 1954 the BBC produced an outstanding documentary series on aerial warfare from 1935 to 1950, comprising fifteen half hour shows that was aired on the first Monday after Remembrance Sunday. Taking two years to make, and compiled from nearly 12 million feet of Allied and enemy film footage, there had been little to compare with it in terms of scale, depth and content. This landmark series represents an important piece of television history and will give every viewer an honest telling of the development of air power. Some of the highlights include; amazing footage taken from the nose of a Mosquito during low level attacks, camera's placed on the wings of various aircraft and a dozen other earth grazing operations. This is the first four episodes of the series will make your hair stand up on end, with music by Malcolm Arnold, Roberto Gerhard & William Alwyn and title music by Arthur Bliss.
