Cold War Hots Jets
15,49 €
When Britain's Aircraft Ruled the Skies
In 1945 as Britain prepared for peace the country was thrown into a different kind of conflict, one that forced the nation to learn a new language of war.
COLD WAR, HOT JETS is a BBC/Open University film that traces the story of Britain s jet aircraft industry; from international sales successes which provided a post-war economic lifeline to its role in some of the most dangerous espionage missions of the cold war and eventually, how it became the platform for Britain's ultimate deterrent.
Historian and novelist James Holland presents a gripping and exhilarating journey through 20 years of dazzling aircraft innovation and design that was driven relentlessly by the threat of fearsome global conflict.
This DVD features sensational footage of some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring aircraft ever created: the Meteor, the Vampire, the Javelin, the V-Force, the English Electric Lightning, TS-R2 and many more. Here also is film of the men who flew them, from dashing test pilots performing at Farnborough Air Shows to Vulcan bomber air crews training to respond to a 2 minute warning, together with interviews with veterans, some of whom lived in the knowledge that they could be ordered to fly into nuclear Armageddon at any time.
