The Royal Air Force Story
The Royal Air Force emerged from the aviation branches of the British Army and Royal Navy during World War I. Despite her successes, her existence came into question after the war. But during the Second World War she put all doubts to rest with her actions. This documentary contains rare archive material, new images and conversations with experts in the inspired history of the British Air Force. We see how the first fighter pilots fought in the air with primitive aircraft made of wood and canvas, and we experience the heroic air battles between the Spitfires and Hurricanes and the feared Bf 109s of the Luftwaffe. Experience the massive air raids on Nazi Germany and follow the jet age from the first Meteors to the spectacular tornado actions of Desert Storm.
