Fighter pilots…warriors of the sky. Jousting on aerial steeds made of steel, speeding through the skies at hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles per hour. Their goal? To get the other guy before he gets them. Hosted by U.S. Air Force Major Paul “Max” Moga of the Air Combat Command’s 1st Fighter Wing, “Showdown: Air Combat” recreates some of history’s most compelling aerial combat manoeuvres with restored aircraft from every era of airborne warfare. The series also offers a compelling insight into each aircraft’s strengths and weaknesses, its place in the evolutionary time line of design innovation, and the ground-breaking battle tactics employed in each confrontation.

In July 1969, history was made as 600 million people watched Neil Armstrong’s giant leap for mankind on the surface of the moon. But behind these iconic images is an untold story. Now, 50 years later, Discovery and Science Channel celebrate the Apollo 11 moon landing with a two-hour television event, APOLLO: THE FORGOTTEN FILMS, that tells the complete story of this most audacious of missions. Featuring forgotten and never-before-seen footage from events surrounding the landmark mission, the documentary by Duncan Copp traces the decade’s worth of effort involving half a million scientists that was required to enable that "one giant leap for mankind". The archives reveal the incredible lengths an army of engineers, scientists and astronauts went to, to achieve America’s greatest technological feat.
