From supersonic F-22 stealth fighters to deadly Apache helicopters to the newest unmanned combat aircraft, the United States possesses the most superior, technologically advanced air force in the world.

Beginning with the Wright Brothers first flight in Kitty Hawk, The Ultimate Guide: Planes tells how aviation evolved to where it is today and shows how military air power has played an important role in improving the safety and speed of passenger flight.

In Aircraft Stories: American Fighters, watch thrilling combat footage from World War II, Korea and Vietnam and learn why, even in today's modern military, expert piloting skills are still just as important as cutting-edge technology.

The need for a balanced attack is illustrated again in Wings Over Afghanistan, where you'll get an inside look at guerrilla ground troops working together with heavily-armed, high-tech aircraft to form an efficient, unified combat unit.

Not all of the military's flying aces are involved in battle. In Thunderbirds, you'll hear from the U.S. Air Force's most elite pilots, a six-man team handpicked to showcase the supremacy of the American military in international air shows.

Through these different examinations of aviation in this country, you'll quickly understand why the ability to conquer the sky has become a central element of our American pride.
