- Synopsis:
Meet the men who flew aircraft that did not officially exist! For nearly half a century, the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. engaged in the dangerous battle for hearts, minds and power known as the Cold War. In the name of deterrence and defence, they assembled the most advanced and powerful militaries in history. This programme examines the planes they developed, introducing the designers and pilots and detailing the advances that propelled aviation into the future. Armed only with cameras, they flew higher, faster and farther. They had names like the Neptune, RB-57D, U-2, RB57F, and SR-71 Blackbird. SPY PLANES tells the tales of these extraordinary creations, detailing the missions and introducing the pioneers who made it all possible. From unforgettable encounters to cancelled projects, this is the complete tale of a high-stakes, high-altitude battle. - Actors:
