About this title

Synopsis

The first faltering steps into military jet technology were made nearly three-quarters of a century ago, in the time of canvas-and-wire airplanes and steam engines; since then, the results, thanks to jet pioneers throughout the world, have been nothing less than revolutionary. These 300 aircraft that have flown from World War II on, including some still in service, showcase the Messerschmitt Me 262, English Electric Lightning, Lockheed SR-71; North American F-86 Sabre, the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, Saab Draken, Suhkoi Su-27 "Flanker," and McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.
