Product Description
When World War I began in 1914, the air forces of the opposing nations consisted of handfuls of rickety biplanes. By the war's end, the blueprint of the modern fighter aircraft had emerged. To trace the story of this astonishingly rapid technological revolution, NOVA takes viewers inside The Vintage Aviator, a team of New Zealand-based aviation buffs dedicated to bringing back classic World War One fighters.
Customer Reviews
As pointed out in another review, this video shows a New Zealand group, called "Vintage Aviator" which, build replicas of WWI military aircraft to the finest detail and then, flies than in simulated air combat and reported first hand, the positives and negatives of each machine, instead of repeating what was stated in some old book.Contrary to the other review, I see this as very positive because, it is impossible to find 100 years old, lumber and canvas war airplanes in flyable condition to do this performance evaluation.I applaud the effort and dedication of this group of people, to re-create these historic WWI military aircraft as equal as possible to the original ones. This is a must see for the aviation enthusiast!
