James May's 20th Century ep04 Take Cover

James investigates some of the most ingenious ideas to emerge from 20th <br /> century warfare - and he gets to fly in the RAF's latest supersonic jet.<br /> <br /> James also flies in an early 20th century biplane to get to grips with just <br /> how difficult it was for the early aviators to hit their targets. Armed with <br /> flour bombs, he tests his skill in the air... and it's a lot more difficult <br /> than he imagined.<br /> <br /> And he joins up with a group of ex-Paras to try some "make up for men" - <br /> camouflage paint. It works so well he can't spot a man just a few feet in <br /> front of him, so he has to turn to a hi-tech infrared camera to see if he <br /> can find his enemy. <br />
