Warbirds of World War II Volume 2: Wings To Victory
First Episode: Attack Air
Forged in the fires of World War I's brutal
trench warfare, attack aviation emerged as the one hope to
break the gruesome stalemate on the ground. In World War
II, attack aviation reached its zenith of success as both the
Axis and Allies refined it to a deadly art. Fly with our
veterans as they dodge trees, flak and fighters during their
zero-altitude missions against enemy ground targets.
Second Episode: P-51
The P-51 Mustang rose from obscurity to become
the greatest long-range fighter in aviation history. Able to
outfly even the best of the Axis aircraft, The Mustang
decimated its enemies and drove them from the skies over
Europe and Japan. But in its infancy, the Mustang flashed
none if its war-winning potential. We trace the P-51's
development from its origin through its re-emergence as
the dominant aerial weapon of World War II.
Third Episode: P-47
A big, bare-knuckle brawler of a fighter, the P-47
combined rugged durablilty with devastating firepower.
Built to be the ultimate high alitude fighter of the war,
the Thunderbolt helped drive the Luftwaffe from the skies
of Europe. The P-47 proved to be a lethal fighter-bomber,
destroying tens of thousands of trucks, tanks and trains.
