The Race to Rule the Skies
Air Combat II
Before they could be flown to glory
they had to be built. From the drawing boards to the prototypes and on into history, here
is the story of the race to build the planes of WWII. Japan's early success owed much to
the Mitsubishi Zero - it was a technological marvel. But by the end of the war, America's
B-29 bombers had all their guns removed - for the "Superfortress" flew so high
no enemy plane could reach it, not even the Zero! Follow the development of some of the
great planes of WWII, from Mustangs to Messerschmitts, Spitfires to the
"Swallow" jet! See rare footage of early tests, and watch as the original plans
are refined for production and the finished product makes its mark on the War. 50 min.

Reach
for the Sky
by Paul Brickhill
A shiver ran down my spine when I read the first words of a review at the Amazon site:
"I sent my dog-eared copy of Reach for the Sky to a legless hero ...". I had
given my own copy to Triple Pete
whilst he was still in hospital recovering from the most horrific accident.
This book is required reading for those interested in aviation, the Battle of Britain ...
and the human condition. It's the story of Douglas Bader, a young man who lost both legs
in an aircraft accident shortly before the war, who bullied his way into the RAF despite
stiff opposition, who went on to become an ace pilot and a wing commander and who finished
the war in the infamous Stalag 13, a prison for recalcitrant escapees.

sidebars highlight the Spitfire's operational history, personalities behind the drawing
boards and in the cockpits, political influences, and other points of interest.
