Description
World War II perhaps saw the greatest advancement in air warfare of the 20th century. Conflict was now determined on the battlefield and in the air above, with both fighter aircraft and bombers playing a much larger role. In this program, the first in a series of three following the development of air assault, the conflict between Germany and Britain is examined before the US entered the fray.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Empire rapidly surged out into south-east Asia and the Central Pacific. Triumph & Defeat '41 - '45 tells the story of the initial Japanese successes and then the relentless fight back by the Allies across the vast distances of the Pacific. Allied Air Force & Navy aircraft supported the advance through the Solomon, Gilbert, Marshall and Philippine Island groups. With the Mariana Islands secured, the massive B-29 bombing campaign would now take the war to Japan itself, culminating in the devastating atomic bomb attacks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This documentary, produced by Gordon Carr for the BBC (and first shown in January 1973, shortly after the trial), covers the roots of the Angry Brigade in the revolutionary ferment of the 1960s, and follows their campaign and the police investigation to its culmination in the 'Stoke Newington 8' conspiracy trial at the Old Bailey-the longest criminal trial in British legal history. Produced after extensive research-among both the libertarian opposition and the police-it remains the essential study of Britain's first urban guerilla group. Between 1970 and 1972 the Angry Brigade used guns and bombs in a series of symbolic attacks against property. A series of communiques accompanied the actions, explaining the choice of targets and the Angry Brigade philosophy: autonomous organization and attacks on property alongside other forms of militant working class action. Targets included the embassies of repressive regimes, police stations and army barracks, boutiques and factories, government departments and the homes of Cabinet ministers, the Attorney General and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. These attacks on the homes of senior political figures increased the pressure for results and brought an avalanche of police raids. From the start the police were faced with the difficulty of getting to grips with a section of society they found totally alien. And were they facing an organization-or an idea?
