"Once there was a war...A war like none other...A war cloaked in darkness, lit only by the flash of flames and searchlights, the explosions of bombs and the blaze of burning planes."

So begins this series of the deadly war fought in the dark skies over Europe in World War II. For the first time in the history of human conflict, a war was fought by men and machines in the air at night.

Warriors Of The Night is the definitive account of this war. Veterans from both sides recount the commonplace bravery and horror that they faced on a daily basis. The complex tactics that evolved and the race of competing technologies are related by graphic images and animation. The war had become not only battle between men but also a struggle of science and technology.

The series includes the story of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, which is dedicated to the restoration and the preservation of Canada's military aviation heritage. The aircraft of the past are being rebuilt and flown in their original condition as a lasting memorial of the men who flew, fought, and died in them.
