Wings of Russia Studio has created a fascinating 18-part, so far, documentary series titled Wings of Russia that documents the history of Russian and Soviet aviation. The episodes are available on DVD in the Russian and English languages. Alas, it is only seems to be available for order in the PAL television format. So we are out of luck in the United States and Japan (NTSC) or France (SECAM), unless you have a region-free DVD player that can play PAL DVDs and output to NTSC or SECAM.
Episodes in the series include:
Episode 1. "'Fighters: The First Victories"
Episode 2. "Fighters: The Stormy Years"
Episode 3. "Fighters: The Jet Era"
Episode 4. "Fighters: A Struggle for Superiority"
Episode 5. "Bombers: The Flying Armada"
Episode 6. "Bombers: The Cold War"
Episode 7: "Attack Aircraft and Front Line Bombers: Above the Battlefield"
Episode 8. "Attack Aircraft and Front Line Bombers: The Jet Strike"
Episode 9. "Civil Aircraft: The Air Carriers"
Episode 10. "Civil Aircraft: Wings Over Continents"
Episode 11. "The Wing-in-Ground-Effect Systems: At the Edge of Two Environments"
Episode 12. "Amphibians: The Steel Albatross"
Episode 13. "Helicopters: The Air Rovers"
Episode 14. "Helicopters: Soldiers and Workers"
Episode 15. "Training and Sports Aircraft: A Road into the Sky"
Episode 16. "Naval Aviation: On the Naval Service"
Episode 17. '"Military Transport Aircraft: Flying Heavyweights"
Episode 18. "Reconnaissance Planes: The Sky Outwatch"
