Information

Another chance to see the six-part series chronicling the impact of technology on the history of war. Throughout history, armies have struggled to gain the edge over their enemies with newer and more deadly weapons. Focusing on six weapons which changed the course of history, this is a chronicle of the history of warfare and cultural change from Agincourt to the Gulf War. Each episode is devoted to a single weapon, and tells the story of the battle in which it emerged as a truly decisive force.

Sean Bean narrates this BBC documentary series looking at the weapons which changed the history of warfare. They include the T-34, Russia's most feared tank which was used during WW2, the P-51 Mustang, the most famous US fighter, which helped destroy Germany, and the Bell 'Huey' Helicopter, which was America's saviour during the Vietnam War.

3)  The P-51: Cadillac of the Skies

World War II veterans recall the decisive role played by the P-51 Mustang in protecting US bombers from German attack.

In 1943, the large and slow Flying Fortresses, used in the US Air Force's daylight bombing raids, were being shot out of the sky at a rate of up to 60 bombers per day. Only one fighter plane could save them -the single-seat P51 Mustang. The P51 enabled American pilots to fly eight-hour missions; by the end of the war, it accounted for half of all German planes destroyed, either in the air or on the ground. American and German veterans recount the legend that was the Mustang.
