Unique all-action film of the West's most modern and powerful land-based fighters and bombers of the late 1980s, taken by airforce and manufacturer's cameramen during trials and training. The program features, from the European air forces, Britain's Harrier, the Panavia Tornado ADV and the Sepecat Jaguar. Also covered are France's Mirage 2000, Sweden's Saab Viggen and Israel's Kfir fighter.

From the USAF comes the mighty B-52 Stratofortress, the tank-busting A-10 Thunderbolt II and strategic Rockwell B-1B bomber. USAF fighters covered include the F-4 Phantom II, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the F-15 Eagle, the F/A-18 Hornet and the AV-8B Harrier II.

The West's Land-Based Fighters and Bombers' superb footage is accompanied by a detailed script by aviation expert Chris Chant.
