Trace the evolution of the airplane from a tentative eye in the sky into the ultimate weapons delivery system.

In the 100 years since the Wright brothers first took to the air, the airplane has evolved from a tentative eye in the sky into the ultimate weapons delivery system. Its role in warfare has changed dramatically through the ages; as it has taken on new functions, the very way we wage war has had to change along with it. WARPLANE explores the evolution of the warplane - not plane by plane, but by role and by telling the stories of the creative minds who, out of necessity, creativity and hard work, have taken warfare into the skies. The series is broken down into four programs with a combination of thematic and chronological approaches. Stacy Keach narrates.
