Fighter Planes tells how fighter aircraft were first deployed in World War I, which led on to the era of such ground-breaking designs as the Spitfire, Messerschmitt and Mustang of World War II. We look closely at the evolution of jet, VTOL and stealth fighters, right up to the Apache attack helicopter and the state-of-the-art supersonic fighter, the F-35 Raptor.
