History of Air Combat

Description

Author and Vietnam War veteran Nelson DeMille (THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER) hosts this comprehensive history and evolution of the technology, philosophies, strategies, key turning points, milestones, and notable battles of aerial combat. See just how the early breakthroughs of plane pioneers the Wright Brothers yielded the sophisticated modern fighter pilots used in Desert Storm. Much of the battle footage to be found here was shot by a military cameraman who put himself in harm's way just to get close to the action, and the results are impressive.
