1996|6 Episodes
First seeing service in the First World War, flying boats quickly adapted to peacetime when they became the world's first airliners. When the Second World War broke out, flying boats swiftly reverted to their military roles in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters - but it was becoming increasingly obvious that their days were numbered. Discovery Wings tells the story of these beautiful and spectacular aircraft with rare action archive footage and stills featuring dozens of different designs.
