Wings DVD Set



Take an insider's look at history's fastest, most powerful and most successful aircraft – from design to deployment to retirement – featuring in-depth examinations of the technology under the hood and the pilots under the cockpit glass.Nighthawk: Secrets of the StealthThe F-117 Nighthawk, better known as the Stealth Fighter, has been flying since the 1980s. But until the Gulf War erupted, almost nothing was known about this hidden-to-radar aircraft. Now, follow the chronological development of the Nighthawk as interviews with engineers and designers reveal key facts about the world's most invisible jet fighter. Wings of the Luftwaffe: Fighter AttackWhile the rest of the world was still struggling with propellers, Hitler's air force – the Luftwaffe – was busy pioneering the jet engine. Look back at the waning years of World War II when German designers made tremendous advances in aviation technology – the high-speed Fw 190 Butcherbird, the space-age V1 and V2 rockets, and the revolutionary Me 262, the only successful jet fighter of the war. Wings over EuropeFrom the Spanish Civil War to the Battle for Germany, take a look at the planes – and the pilots – that ruled the skies in World War II's greatest European air battles. Discover how the British Spitfire matched up with the German Me 109. Learn why Germany's lack of a long-range bomber crippled its chances for success. And see how the severe bombing of London eventually spurred the British to victory in the Battle of Britain.Wings over the PacificFollow the air campaigns of the Pacific, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and discover how American birds – like the F6F Hellcat – matched up against their Japanese counterparts – like the Ki-100, nicknamed "Tony" by the Allies. Learn the tactics American and Japanese pilots used to adjust to ever-evolving aircraft, changing battle strategies and the logistical problems of fighting a war that spanned thousands of miles. Wings over VietnamMeet the men who took on some of the war's most daring missions – and climb aboard the planes that went with them. The Phantom, SideWinder and Skyhawk filled the skies over Southeast Asia more than two decades ago, becoming emblematic of the war's most vital chapters. And – in a testament to their longevity – all three are still in service today.Wings over the GulfThe assortment of U.S. planes that flew over the Persian Gulf was arguably the most diverse group of aircraft to ever see combat. From the high-tech radar of the F-15 Eagle and the stealth technology of the F-117 Nighthawk to the old-school design of the A-10 Warthog and the F-16 Falcon, the air campaign of Operation Desert Storm proved a massive undertaking. Examine the key aircraft of the Gulf War and learn how each played a critical role in bringing the conflict to its end.From the first, unproven jet fighter

But it's also one of the most lucrative, offering tens of thousands of dollars for a few days' work. Follow one group of ambitious men as they battle harsh conditions and intense competition in the frenzied search for an undersea jackpot.Heading Out to SeaThe start of king crab season in Dutch Harbor is usually cause for celebration, but with a massive storm moving in and the specter of last year's Big Valley tragedy still lingering, captains and crews are uneasy. Captain Hillstrand of the Time Bandit takes a gamble and leaves port on Friday, breaking one of the oldest fishing superstitions in the book.Batten Down the HatchesA rare, calm day on the Bering Sea is interrupted by reports of an approaching storm – boasting 50 mph winds and 30-foot waves. While Captain Hansen of the Northwestern wisely decides to wait out the weather on the small island of Amak, the Time Bandit's Captain Hillstrand elects to fish through the monster.On the CrabAfter a hide-and-seek run behind Amak Island to avoid a storm, the Northwestern is back on the crab grounds, pulling big pots and filling its holds – until a broken crane brings them to a halt.

He's already caught a boatload of crab and the Bandit is now the first boat in the fleet to offload at St. Paul Harbor.The Finish LineCaptain Hansen and the Northwestern crew are finally pulling in a good amount of crab – but they're covered in barnacles, which means they're worth much less.

Elsewhere on the crab grounds, Captain Sig and the crew of the Northwestern sabotage one of the Cornelia Marie's pots with an old pair of Sig's underwear – a practical joke that prompts an equally "trashy" response from Captain Harris and the men of the Marie.A New Hunt BeginsJanuary on the Bering Sea is usually a time of respite, a brief period when the crews return to port to prep their boats for the Opilio crab portion of the season. While boats like the Maverick refresh their supplies, the Time Bandit heads out in the middle of the season's first big snowstorm to get a jump on the competition.
