Decisive Weapons: Series One



War Documentary hosted by Sean Bean, published by BBC in 1996 - English narration







Information

------------------------------



Another chance to see the six-part series chronicling the impact of technology on the history of war. Throughout history, armies have struggled to gain the edge over their enemies with newer and more deadly weapons. Focusing on six weapons which changed the course of history, this is a chronicle of the history of warfare and cultural change from Agincourt to the Gulf War. Each episode is devoted to a single weapon, and tells the story of the battle in which it emerged as a truly decisive force.

Sean Bean narrates this BBC documentary series looking at the weapons which changed the history of warfare. They include the T-34, Russia's most feared tank which was used during WW2, the P-51 Mustang, the most famous US fighter, which helped destroy Germany, and the Bell 'Huey' Helicopter, which was America's saviour during the Vietnam War.

6)  The Harrier: Jumping Jet Flash

Last programme in the series covers the history of the British Harrier Jump Jet, showing how the Falklands conflict in 1982 provided an opportunity for the aircraft to show what it could do.

For 20 years, the Harrier Jump-Jet-with its ability to take off and land vertically-was considered to be little more than a gimmick. But then the Falklands War highlighted the plane's unique qualities. Despite being previously untested in combat and generally derided by the British military establishment, the Harrier proved decisive, with just 20 taking on the 200-strong Argentine Air Force.
