DISC ONE - Land Warfare Technology
This programme closely examines the development of land
warfare and the effect it had on the conflict. From the killing power of the
machine gun and the dramatic introduction of the tank to the emergence of the
new terror weapon, gas, first used by the Germans with terrible effect at Ypres
on the Western Front in 1915.
DISC TWO - Air Power Technology
The First World War introduced many new technologies but
perhaps the most far reaching was the aeroplane. At the outbreak of war,
aircraft were to play and increasingly important role in reconnaissance and
range-finding for the artillery. In the latter stages of the conflict, their
roles included ground attack and long-range bombing.
DISC THREE - Sea Power Technology
This programme starts with the key sea battle of WWI, The
Battle of Jutland in 1916, which, although inconclusive, blunted the threat of
the German fleet. We then witness submarine technology and the German blochade
of Britain which nearly succeeded in forcing victory. The programme ends with a
look at the aircraft carrier which made a major breakthrough in 1917 with the
first deck landing.
