The story of the Royal Air Force from creation, to 1918 when the air battle was fought in aircraft made of wood and wire, to the present day technology of the Tornado jet fighter. Combines rare and unseen footage and new film.

  • Interesting to see the difference between a British and American documentary.

    The Americans would briefly mention the French - quite possibly coughing audibly over their achievements - whilst managing to aggrandise themselves at the same time. Then you'd have a jump cut to 1955 with a montage of strategic bombers and hydrogen bomb test footage. To remind the peons who's boss, you know?

  • Jeez, what's with the aggression? I was simply pointing out that on every other video about air forces the comments are filled with pathetic rubbish about how that person's air force is better than any of the others.

  • Hilarious. Best comments ever.

  • Thanks for posting this. I have never seen this before on TV in California. Nice to have something different.

  • i shutup .period. yt has now one less idiot.

  • @beastatlay I agree with you completely, i think the difference may be in the UK we've already achieved more than enough to need to say how good we are every 10 minutes in a documentary. British accomplishments speak for themselves.

  • KrisRamJ - well done on pre-empting the chauvinist fuckwits!

    So, um, anyone here ever flown a plane? I saw one, once. Over Campbeltown. It was green and grey and was dead, dead noisy. I think it was British Airways, I think. Or KLM. KLM carry missiles, don't they?

  • Your useless.. be quiet.

  • • Best airforce in the world.

    • No, I think the US Air Force is better.

    • You don't know what you're talking about.

    • The Swedish air force would kick all of your butts.

    etc

    Just thought I'd better get it out of the way, sorry!
