In the winter of 1918, Germany’s conquerors set about rendering the Reich forever incapable of waging war.

The existing German Air Service of nearly 15,000 planes was to be scrapped - the treaty of Versailles would ensure that no military aircraft would ever be flown in Germany again.

But less than a generation later Europe shook before the threat of the Luftwaffe, believed to be the most powerful air force in the world.

The Rise of the Luftwaffe tells how it happened.
