  When the first world war broke out powered flight was barely a decade old. Within the first few months of the war the first flimsy aircraft would change ground warfare forever. An Allied reconnaissance plane spotted a crucial weakness in the German lines at the Marne in August 1914. However as the Allied massed to attack a German aircraft saw them and the element of surprise was lost. Armies could no longer manoeuvre without being seen - and the era of trench warfare began.At first rival pilots regarded each other as brothers. but the desperate need to knock out the enemy 'eye in the sky' led to the swift development of the first fighter aircraft. World War One would be fought with equal ferocity in the air as on the ground.

  The P-51 Mustang was the only fighter with the range to escort bombers deep inside Germany - and it was a natural killer. By early 1944 the Luftwaffe had to be smashed as a prelude to D-Day and the P-51 would do the smashing while the hundred mile long bomber formations acted as fighter bait. Packed with rare archive footage dramatic gun camera film and exclusive interviews with Mustang pilots this is an exciting tribute to the fighter aircraft that won air superiority for the Allies in the war-torn skies over Europe.
