World's Greatest Warplanes DVD & Book Set

Early in the 20th century, many military leaders were skeptical about the value of airplanes, but they subsequently became the preeminent means of waging war, and were adapted to counter a wide variety of threats. Using thrilling footage, this documentary profiles such classic warplanes as the Spitfire, Hurricane, Messerschmitt Bf 109, Phantom, F-16, Sabre, Vulcan, B-17 Flying Fortress, and the Stealth Bomber. This set also includes a 128-page paperback book, which provides info on the creation and history of 25 planes—among them the Fokker E.I., Junkers Ju-88, and De Havilland Mosquito—and features more than 130 color and black and white photographs.
