Summary At the start of World War II, biplanes were still thought of as viable. By its end, new generations of jets like the Gloster Meteor and Me262 dominated the skies. Rocket bombs could deliver a devastating payload across vast distances and one bomb - one aircraft - could destroy an entire city. Air power had changed almost beyond recognition and with it changed the very world we lived in. This last programme looks at the development of air power and speculates on its future potential from the vantage point of 1954.
