An exploration of aviation history from the first test flights to new environmental challenges, including the impressive advances recorded during World War II.
Flying has always been synonymous with freedom. An exploration of the stories of aviation pioneers like Otto Lilienthal, the Wright brothers or Louis Blériot, who realised their dream of flying against all odds.
No other period in aviation history sees so many airplanes dominate the skies as World War II. This is a time that witnesses the cruel story of kamikaze pilots and fighter jets, but also that of major technological advances.
