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

A mission ends in flames, forcing the squadron to confront death in the air. What began as another observation flight becomes a brutal lesson in fire, silence and the cost of returning when others do not.

Tribute

To the pilots who flew fragile machines into fire and to those who never returned from the clouds.
