Fighters Of WWII

Fighter aircraft were the front line of the air war in Europe during World War II. From the Urals to the Midlands, they provided the air cover for advancing infantry, defended the bombers as they penetrated deep into enemy territory, and fought ceaselessly for control of the air space over Europe. World War II was the first war where control of the air was fought over as tenaciously as was control of the ground beneath.

In this DVD, we see profiles of the planes that fought the air war over Europe—famous and infamous. From the early prototypes to the beginning of the jet age, this marvelous collection will be appreciated by every aviation enthusiast.
