DISC 1: JETS OVER KOREA Takes you through the desperate early days of the Korean War when air power alone kept the North Koreans from driving UN forces into the sea. Propeller-driven planes relinquished their role to a new generation of faster, jetpowered fighters such as the Soviet MiG-15 Fagot and the legendary F-86 Sabre. DISC 2: JETS OVER VIETNAM The air war in Vietnam was unlike any other. It pitted the full might of the world s greatest military power against an elusive, but highly motivated enemy. The air war provided the superpowers with the opportunity to put their best technology and weapons systems into the sky for the ultimate test in air combat. DISC 3: JETS OVER THE GULF & AFGHANISTAN Explores the dawn of the age of high-tech air war. For the first time in military history, stealth, networked air control, and precision guided munitions interacted on the battlefield; altering the arena of air combat in an unprecedented way. The air war in Afghanistan (2001 present) and the Second Gulf War (2003 2011) would see a steady expansion in the deployment of stealth aircraft and network centric air warfare.
