History, Technology Documentary hosted by David Robb, published by History Channel in 2005 - English narration
Information
------------------------------
After World War II ended, the United States and the Soviet Union began competing for primacy in a global struggle pitting democracy against communism. As the Soviets seized military and political control in Eastern Europe and the Baltics, turning them into a series of satellite states, the United States and Britain could see that a new Cold War had begun. Tensions between the two superpowers led to such confrontations as the Berlin blockade, the downing of an American U-2 spy plane, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. "Hot" wars erupted in Korea and Vietnam.
This History Channel series looks at the Secret Aircraft technology of the Super Powers. Not knowing what the new technologies were capable of, and lacking computers on which to test the models, prototypes of all kinds were developed. Using specially commissioned computer graphics, previously unseen archive footage and interviews with aviation experts, this series uncovers the Aircraft of the Superpowers that remained highly classified for many years.
Produced by What If Productions in association with Alba Communications for History Channel Television Networks
4) Spyplanes
SPYPLANES uncovers the stories of the secret competitor aircraft to the famous U-2 and Blackbird reconnaissance planes and of the bizarre CIA spyplane operation, Project Cherry.
In this high-octane program espionage takes wing with some of the most advanced aircraft ever built. During the nearly half-century-long Cold War the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. were engaged in the dangerous battle for hearts minds and power. In the name of deterrence and defense they each assembled the most advanced and powerful militaries in history. Armed only with cameras the spy planes developed by these powerful nations during this tense and uncertain period flew higher faster and farther than their predecessors. They had names such as the Neptune RB-57D, U-2, RB-57F and the SR-71 Blackbird.
SPY PLANES tells the tales of these extraordinary creations detailing the missions introducing the pioneers who made it all possible and highlighting the technological advances that helped propel aviation into the future. From unforgettable encounters to canceled projects this is the complete tale of how two superpowers executed a high-stakes high-high-altitude battle for military superiority.
