Synopsis by Elizabeth Smith

Newly released footage provides new insights into how the U.S. planned its air attacks against Iraqi forces during the Gulf War. Among other sequences, viewers see some of the remote-controlled devices that American forces launched to thwart Iraq's radar system. As this program reveals, the Iraqi forces occupying Kuwait stood little chance against the superior air power of the U.S. Several pilots who flew highly sophisticated spy planes like the RC-135 are interviewed during this video, as well as such designers of the air war as Major General (Ret.) Larry Henry. Charlton Heston provides the show's narration.
