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

Newspapers create heroes while pilots know the truth behind each victory. As the public celebrates the ace as a symbol of courage, the men at the front understand that every name printed in glory is written over fear, fire and loss.

Tribute

To those whose victories became headlines, and to those whose names never appeared in print but remained in the memories of the men who flew beside them.
