David Attenborough's Conquest of the Skies (2015)

S1E1 The First to Fly

David Attenborough takes us on a captivating adventure to discover one of nature's most fascinating tales: the evolution of flying creatures. He starts by delving into the surprisingly sophisticated realm of early flyers— insects. With breathtaking new visuals, we gain fresh perspectives on this incredible narrative, tracing the journey from the initial dragonfly-like beings that soared on four wings to the beetles that developed hard wing covers for land colonization, and the butterflies that can migrate thousands of miles. He wraps up by examining the impressive abilities of the insect world's jet fighter—the unassuming yet remarkably agile fly.
