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.

5)  The Longbow: Wood Against Steel

This programme looks at how the longbow changed the face of warfare and helped the English win the battle of Agincourt.

The longbow was the lethal weapon of the Middle Ages, a killing machine that could stop a fully-armoured knight dead in his tracks. Its simple form and devastating power made it the ideal weapon for the English when they invaded France in 1415 and, at Agincourt, faced a massive French army.
