Description: In the first three weeks of the Gulf War, the RAF flew some 2,500 sorties against enemy targets inside Iraq and Kuwait. The missions they flew were some of the most perilous of the entire conflict, including low level Tornado strikes against heavily fortified Iraqi airfields. This is the story of those crucial first few weeks of 1991 when the skies were filled with F-117A Stealth aircraft, F-16S, Jaguars and Tornados, as the British, French, American and other Allied air forces systematically destroyed ground communications, nuclear and chemical warfare weapons centres, transport routes and airfields. This documentary looks at the war from the pilot’s viewpoint, with dramatic film footage of precision guided bombs and missiles striking their targets with spectacular accuracy.
