How the Coalition destroyed Saddam | Gulf War Air Campaign

Operation Desert Storm represented one of the largest and most impressive air campaigns of all time. It was an operation of enormous scale and complexity.

At IWM Duxford we house a huge number of objects and aircraft that were involved in the conflict on both sides. In this second episode of our Gulf War series IWM Curator Megan Joyce takes a closer look at our collections in an effort to understand the Gulf War air campaign.

NOTE - The voiceover at 15:54 should refer to the A-6 Intruder rather than A-8.
