Weapons of War
From the beginning of the First World War to the end of World War II, scientists and engineers worked tirelessly to produce the ultimate weapons of attack and counter attack that the military craved. Great Britain produced, amongst others, Radar, Hobart's funnies and the Bouncing Bomb. Germany, with the rocket genius Von Braun on her side, created the V1 flying bomb and the V2 missile, which lit the dawn of the space race. America created the ultimate weapon of war, the Atomic Bomb, produced to a punishing schedule and used to stop the war in its tracks. "Weapons Of War" combines rare archival footage and the outstanding commentary of Raymond Baxter, himself a former Spitfire pilot, to look back at the armaments that helped to win, and lose, two world wars.
