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
