NOVA S42E06 - First Air War

Episode Overview

As World War I erupted in 1914, the air combatants were limited to a few fragile biplanes, with pilots sporadically firing rifles at each other. However, by 1918, fighter aircraft evolved into powerful weapons with a significant influence on the war's outcome. Utilizing an exceptional array of carefully crafted flying replicas, NOVA explores the journey of the innovators, engineers, and courageous pilots involved in the fierce competition for aerial supremacy over the Western Front.
