Plot

This episode from the History Channel series chronicles the history of the plane as fighter aircraft, from World War I to the Gulf War. The program notes that not long after the Wright brothers' short but historic flight, the army began exploring military uses of the airplane. Highlights include aerial combat footage from World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and the Gulf War, along with cockpit recordings that reveal the chaos and confusion that reigns during a "dogfight." ~ Steve Blackburn, All Movie Guide
