 The P-51 Mustang 
Description: 
The P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat fighter aircraft that served with the Allied air forces during WW2. It flew mostly as a bomber escort in raids over Germany, ensuring air superiority from early 1944. The Mustang also served during the Korean War as a fighter, then in a ground attack role. The definitive version of the fighter was powered by the Packard V-1650-3, a two-stage two-speed supercharged 12-cylinder version of the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, and armed with six .50 caliber Browning machine guns. It is in my opinion the most aesthetically pleasing of all the WW2 fighters. Music: Raidiohead - 'Weird Fishes'.

The North American X-15
Description: 
The North American X-15 rocket plane was perhaps the most important of the USAF/USN X-series of experimental aircraft. Although not as famous as the Bell X-1, the X-15 set numerous speed and altitude records in the early 1960s, reaching the edge of space and providing data that was used in the design of later aircraft and spacecraft.

The Lockheed U-2
Description: 
The U-2 was designed to provide day and night, high-altitude, all-weather surveillance. Kelly Johnson's design married long glider-like wings to the fuselage of the F-104 Starfighter. The characteristics that provide it's remarkable performance also make it extremely difficult to fly.

A-10 Thunderbolt II
Description: 
The A-10 was designed for high-survivability with a titanium cover surrounding both the cockpit, ammunition and fuel tank. Placement of the engines decreases the infrared signature lowering it's vulnerablity to heatseeking missiles and ground fire. Music: Supergrass - 'Tales of Endurance'.

The B-2 Spirit
Description: 
The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit is a multi-role stealth heavy bomber. The B-2's composite materials, special coatings and flying-wing design all contribute to its "stealthiness." One of the most expensive planes ever built: estimates for the costs per plane range from 1.1 to 2.2 billion USD. Music: Massive Attack - Future Proof'.

The BAC TSR-2
Description: 
The BAC TSR-2 was to be the RAF's foremost combat aircraft for the 1960's onwards, replacing the Canberra in the Tactical Strike/Reconnaissance role. The aircraft was to have supersonic capability at tree-top height and was the first aircraft in the World to be equipped with a Head-Up-Display (HUD). The TSR project was subsequently murdered in 1964 by a short-sighted Labour government, and all project material and prototypes ordered destroyed. A decision motivated mostly by pressure from the US to not compete with their F-111 Aardvark in the global market. Music: Gary Jules - 'Mad World'. * Large File *
