This episode of Century of Flight features the Air Show, originating after World War I as a way for air forces to gain support as independent branches of the military. Racing and aerobatics became popular soon after, and air shows provided a way for pilots to show off their skills and planes. Experience the evolution of the Air Show, from the vast Shuttleworth Collection to the formation flying stunts of the Red Arrows. See a Vickers Wellington Bomber recovered from Loch Ness and a replica of the Wrights Brothers original flying machine
