Watch Wonders of Science - Volume 3

Two award winning documentaries - After Desert Storm & Stealth, The Art of Deception - After Desert Storm - The awesome destructive power of war in the Twenty First Century. This astounding, highly acclaimed documentary, reveals as never before, the overwhelming power of twenty first century warfare and the technology employed. As the allied military machine rolled forward, to drive the invading Iraqi armies out of Kuwait they unleashed a storm of firepower never before witnessed in human history. Truly they unleashed an irresistible Desert Storm that swept all before it. This documentary is created in the turmoil of battle. It rolls forward with the tank commanders, it stands behind the launch crews as they release their devastating missiles, and it flies with the pilots as they line up their sights on their helpless targets. Desert Storm marked a new departure in the annals of warfare, the beginning of scientific warfare. -
Stealth, The Art of Deception - Ever since the Greeks abandoned the battlefield at Troy, leaving behind them an innocent looking model of a horse, deception and camouflage have been a powerful weapon in the armoury of war. This remarkable and immensely entertaining programme takes us on a journey through history, from the bits of hedgerow stuck into the helmet of the sniper on the Somme, to the curving patterns of camouflage paint on the allied tanks that smashed their way through Caen, and finally to the ultimate camouflage of the stealth bombers that are invisible to the probing eye of radar. It's a great story very well told.
