A tv series looking at the many jet aircrafts of the Cold War era and the rolls they played.
Episode 1
Britain emerged from World War Two in financial crisis, but one technological innovation provided hope for the future: a world leading jet aviation industry. During the Cold War, the jet engine became a lucrative export and a powerful piece of military hardware, but selling to the wrong buyer could alter the balance of power.
Episode 2
As an `Iron Curtain' fell across Europe, the jet bomber came to define how the Cold War was fought. Able to fly faster, higher and further than ever before, and armed with a devastating new weapon, Britain's V Force became the platform for delivering nuclear Armageddon.
