This amazing 4 disc box set displays some of the greatest combat aircraft that have changed the face of modern warfare. From the Low Observables, or stealth aircraft, to the Tornado fighters which have seen service across the globe, every aspect of air-borne modern warfare is presented in this stunning 4 disc collection.

STEALTH
Stealth governs the design of all today's combat aircraft. Any aircraft that enters hostile environments has to do its best to be undetectable. It must try to be invisible to radar, to the naked eye, to infrared, to heat sensors and silent. This program traces the attempts made by aircraft designers since World War II to try to achieve invisibility.

HARRIER
For more than twenty years the Harrier has been a unique weapon in the Western armory, the world's first vertical take-off and landing combat aircraft capable of operations from unprepared strips and small ships. Harrier tells the story of this revolutionary fighter from the experiments with the 'Flying Bedstead' to its worldwide deployment with the Royal Air Force.

TORNADO
Tornado was designed to meet the needs of Britain’s Royal Air Force, Germany’s Luftwaffe and Marineflieger and Italy’s Aeronautica Militare Italiano. It can hurtle down steep-sided valleys carrying an 8,000lb bomb-load without using any of the pylons on its pivoting swing wings. It is the fastest aircraft in the world at treetop height, at 800 knots, and has been cleared to carry more types of stores than any other warplane.
