I believe the first episodes have already been broadcasted, though I think you will have to look it up at the Top Gear website.

Thank you coenoo1, I hadn't seen the first video. It's a great combination of Top Gear and Aviation, my two favorite things. :)

Quite!
Truth is that Hitler is the reason the Luftwaffe lost the Battle of Britain, and Hitler lost the war for Germany.
If you really wanted to say a specific aircraft "saved the world from Hitler" I think that credit is shared by the B-17 and Lancaster.
In reality though it was the M1 Garand and Lee Enfield. Aircraft are merely a support asset for ground operations 99% of the time.
