Plane Resurrection

- Season 4

(2020)

The wooden wonder that simply outran its foes, and took part in some of WW2s most daring missions. We get an up close look at the only running example in Europe

The ugliest combat veteran of Vietnam. Though never a fighter or a bomber, the sight of the Caribou above the jungle proved just as welcome for troops on the ground.

The team flies a P-40 Warhawk, a fighter that was obsolete before the Second World War commenced in Europe, but served right to the conclusion in every theatre of the conflict

Unique access to the museum example of 'The Turkey' is combined with stunning archive footage and the heartbreaking story of a fatally wounded gunner.

Crude, yet pretty, and deadly, the Yak 3 and its siblings were Soviet Russias best fighter planes of WW2, and were taken into combat by the worlds first female front line pilots.

The remarkable story of the definitive German fighter plane, and it greatest exponent, Adolf Galland - a deadly ace, respected o both sides of the Channel.
