War Heroes of the Skies

Description: As the years go by, there is an increasingly large gap in time between the present day and World War II. As such, it is important to learn from surviving veterans of the war for current and future generations to be able to learn from those who fought in the historic battle. This programme can help serve as a time capsule about WWII, letting viewers experience the war through the eyes of those who experienced it firsthand through interviews with the veterans. From an officer who put out a fire on an aircraft's wing while 20,000 feet in the sky to a phantom fighter pilot involved in one of the most celebrated dogfights in the modern era, `War Heroes of the Skies' offers harrowing stories from the war. Author Michael Ashcroft presents the stories of selfless courage and heroism that often go beyond the call of duty.
