Season 1 Episode 1 of 2

Part one of two. The presenter experiences the training of a Second World War fighter pilot, ultimately taking to the skies in a Hawker Hurricane for a dogfight against a Messerschmitt 109. In the first part, he learns how to fly in a Tiger Moth bi-plane, before progressing to the much faster Harvard aircraft and combat manoeuvres. He also tries his hand at clay pigeon shooting, which was used as a training exercise to help rookie pilots shoot fast-moving targets
