• The Wing Will Fly - From The Flying Wing To The Stealth Bomber | DVD | (06/04/2010) from £6.65   |  Saving you £3.34 (33.40%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Today, the B2 Stealth Bomber is one of the most advanced aircraft in the world, but the principles of its design can be traced back over many decades to the early 'Flying Wing' prototypes designed by Jack Northrop. The Wing Will Fly is the truly definitive story of those incredible and futuristic 'Flying Wings'. Meticulously researched and packed with manufacturer's own footage of the different 'Wings' in flight and on trial, this totally unique DVD also includes interviews with both the men who built the 'Wings' and the surviving test pilots The story of the 'Flying Wings' is every bit as incredible as the machines themselves. There is no doubt that the project was plagued by mechanical difficulties, but was sabotage responsible for both the fatal crash of the XB-79 and the YB-49? Was Jack Northrop right when he claimed that the advanced project was cancelled due to corruption in the placement of air force contracts? Broken-hearted, Jack Northrop retired from the Northrop Corporation in 1952. Almost thirty years later, he was whisked away to a top secret Northrop installation to be shown a model of the new B2 'Stealth' bomber - which had been developed from his 'Flying Wing' experiments all those years ago."

  The complete collection containing all the documentaries that Michael Palin has made under the BBC. The following documentaries feature on the collection. Around the World in 80 Days: Michael Palin takes up the famous challenge. Air travel is forbidden and wherever possible he uses the same routes and transport as Jules Verne's fictional hero meeting many interesting characters en route. As he races across continents and against the clock Michael's charm and ingenuity delights the armchair traveller. Pole to Pole: Michael Palin's second televised challenge is to travel from the North to the South Pole by land and sea. The crossing is varied and frequently gruelling passing through Russia just days before the abortive Gorbachev coup then on through Turkey Egypt Sudan and South Africa hopefully arriving in time to catch the only ship from Africa to Antarctica! Full Circle: In Full Circle Michael Palin sets off from Diomede in the Bering Strait and hopes to return there one year later via Russia Japan Korea China Vietnam the Philippines Borneo Indonesia Australia New Zealand and the whole length of the Americas. But right from the start things don't go to plan... Sahara: Michael Palin's lust for travel is as strong as it was when he went around the world in 80 days from Pole to Pole and then Full Circle. His latest objective is one of the great challenges in world travel: crossing the Sahara Desert... Himalaya: In his most challenging journey yet Michael Palin tackles the Himalayas: the greatest mountain range on earth a virtually unbroken wall of rock stretching 1800 miles from the borders of Afghanistan to south-west China. Hemmingway Adventure: Palin journeys to Valencia in Spain following in the footsteps of his favourite author Ernest Hemmingway. Great Railway Journey: Derry or Londonderry depending on religion or which part of Ireland you're from is the starting point of Michael Palin's Great Irish Railway Journey. A journey which will take him from this ancient walled city to the most Western tip of Ireland. But it is far more than a sightseeing tour for veteran traveller Michael Palin. It is a quest for family roots an attempt to trace his great grandmother - Brita Gallagher - who set sail from Ireland 150 years ago during the potato famine bound for a new life in Burlington New Jersey USA. It is a trip along the Palin family line.
