Planes That Changed the World - Miniseries (2015)

Emerging as a rival to Boeing's 247, the rigorously tested twin-engine DC3 would eventually radicalise the aviation industry in 1934.

Lockheed were tasked with creating a plane invisible to Russian radar, capable of reaching an altitude of 80,000 ft and speeds of Mach 3.2.
