Colour archive footage of the Italian and German airforces in action during WW2
The BAC TSR-2 was to be the RAF's foremost combat aircraft for the 1960's onwards, replacing the Canberra in the Tactical Strike/Reconnaissance role. The aircraft was to have supersonic capability at tree-top height and was the first aircraft in the World to be equipped with a Head-Up-Display (HUD). The TSR project was subsequently murdered in 1964 by a short-sighted Labour government, and all project material and prototypes ordered destroyed. A decision motivated mostly by pressure from the US to not compete with their F-111 Aardvark in the global market. Music: Gary Jules - Mad World.

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress was originally designed to supercede the B-36 and carry nuclear weapons for the SAC during the coldwar. It never delivered nuclear weapons in combat, but dropped nearly all the weapons tested in the Pacific during the 50/60's including the first air-deliverable H-bomb in 1956. The B-52 entered service in 1954 and has served in every majot conflict since then. It is not expected to be decomsissioned until at least 2040, an unprecedented service length for a military aircraft.

The Vulcan was part of the RAF's V bomber force, which fulfilled the role of nuclear deterrence against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Avro Vulcan XH558 was the first Vulcan B2 to enter service with the RAF in July 1960, and the last to fly (with the RAF Vulcan Display Flight in 1992). The Vulcan to the Sky Trust is labouring to restore this historical aircraft, get it air-worthy and keep it that way. www.tvoc.co.uk

The MiG-29 OVT (NATO code name "Fulcrum-F) is a variant of the Soviet air superiority fighter. Retro-fitted with thrust vectoring engines and fly-by-wire controls, it serves as a test bed and demonstrator for these technologies.
The MiG-29 "Fulcrum" is a Soviet air superiority fighter Developed in the 1980s by the Mikoyan design bureau, with peformance on par with the USAF F-15 or F-16 in most aspects.
Orion was 1950's Project to study the posibility of a spacecraft powered by nuclear pulse propulsion. The design would have worked by ejecting nuclear weapons from the rear of a vehicle, detonating them, and catching the blast with a shock absorber equipped pusher plate. This sequence would be repeated thousands of times, in effect an atomic pogo stick. The project was scrapped in 1965 amid fear about fallout both political and radialogical. Footage shown is of scale testing done using conventional explosives.

Sourced the film Gula Divisionen, a Swedish "Top Gun" from 1954. The J29 Tunnan (The Barrel) was built by Saab 1950-1956. In the fifties the Swedish Air Force was the fourth largest in the world and Tunnan was as good as the best US (Sabre) and Soviet (Mig15) fighters. Tunnan held for a time the world speed record at the distance of 500 km.

World War I was the first modern global military conflict which took place in Europe between 1914 to 1918. Archaic military tactics met modern industrialised warfare for the first time, resulting casualties on a previously unimaginable scale. Men rotted in the mud, then were sent to face massed machine gun fire, modern artillary, tanks and chemical weapons. Over 40 million soldiers and civilians died and countless others were physically maimed or mentally scarred by the horrors of trench warfare.
On 20/07/69, the human race accomplished its single greatest technological achievement of all time when a human first set foot on another celestial body. This is a collection of the very best footage I could find of the complete journey to the moon and back.
The current dogma is that anthropogenic Global Warming is a fact. I believe that there is more to the story, and that this may be the greatest scam of modern history.

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was a 4-engine American bomber, primarily employed in the daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German industrial and military targets. In the Pacific, the planes earned a deadly reputation with the Japanese, who dubbed them "four-engine fighters." The Fortresses were also legendary for their ability to stay in the air after taking brutal poundings. They sometimes limped back to their bases with large chunks of the fuselage shot off.
