Concorde: The Race for Supersonic

The full story of the international race to build the world's first supersonic airliner. A story of how geniuses and spies gave birth to an entirely new kind of airplane that could cross the Atlantic in less than three hours.

The Anglo-French Concorde goes nose to nose with its Soviet competitor, but archives reveal the latter project ended in tragedy and death. And we uncover how America's homegrown competitor is felled not by technology, but by the moon shot and money.
