Series Description

Set against the vast skies of World War I, Wings of Iron explores the birth of aerial warfare through the eyes of pilots, mechanics and observers caught in a conflict that is transforming the heavens into a battlefield.

From fragile reconnaissance aircraft to deadly dogfights, the series follows the men and women who witnessed the first age of combat aviation.

Before radar. Before jets. Before modern air forces.

There were only machines of wood and canvas, and the courage of those who flew them.

Episode Description

Early dogfights reveal how fragile the first warplanes truly are. As pilots begin carrying weapons into the sky, the aircraft they once trusted for observation become unstable machines of canvas, wood and fire.

Tribute

To the first combat aviators who flew without certainty, without protection and without knowing what aerial warfare would become.
