Air Power

Produced shortly after the fiftieth anniversary of powered flight, this documentary series, hosted by veteran news anchor Walter Cronkite, traced the development of flight from the Wright Brothers to the present day. In addition to the impact of air travel on society and the economy, this series also took a detailed look at the military uses of air power, from the dogfighting biplanes of the First World War, to the high powered bombers and jet fighters of the 1950's.
