The First World War From Above

Directed by Mark Radice

With Fergal Keane, Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, Nick Saunders, Dave Parry and Birger Stichelbaut

The story of the Great War told from a unique new aerial perspective. Featuring two remarkable historical finds, including a piece of archive footage filmed from an airship in summer 1919, capturing the trenches and battlefields in a way that has rarely been seen before. It also features aerial photographs taken by First World War pilots - developed for the first time in over ninety years - that show not only the devastation inflicted during the fighting, but also quirks and human stories visible only from above.
