Hanna Reitsch is the only known wartime female military test pilot. Her flying in Germany included a manned VI flying bomb, plus a glider the size of a jumbo jet that needed three fighters to lift it off the ground; and an indoor demonstration of an early helicopter at the Berlin motor show. All of which earned her a personal decoration from the Fuhrer. Film editor COLIN JONES Written and produced by BRIAN JOHNSON

The British in China 1920-1939: Part 2
Narrator Christopher Cook
Few westerners were fortunate enough to discover the real China for themselves in the 1920s and 30s. That was except for the Christian missionaries who preached their gospel and built schools, universities and hospitals in the interior. And those who travelled along the Yangtse river.
In the second part missionaries recall life in Chinese villages which had never seen a European before; and men who served with the Yangtse flotilla, the fleet of gunboats maintained by the Royal Navy, remember life on the river. Research SHIRLEY WHTTTON
