From the transcript

Not much more than a century ago, the idea of the airplane as a weapon of war would have been regarded as little more than a pipe dream, a nebulous concept the most military strategist couldn't even imagine in real detail. But, just 120 years after the first powered airplane took to the skies, air power has become an indispensable part of warfare.

From surveillance to aerial combat to bombardment and logistical transport, the airplane is arguably the most important piece of kit that any modern military can possess.

In war, after war, control of the skies is equated nearly directly to control over the entire battlefield. And although aircraft like any technology can't win a war all by themselves, it can certainly get you close.
