Summary: In this film, ten European countries (France, Italy, Greece, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Turkey) are photographed from low-flying aircraft against an evocative soundtrack, revealing the features of their ancient capitals, historical heritage and remarkable landscapes in a new dimension. This unusual perspective on Europe conveys a sense of the unity and interdependence of the members of the Atlantic Alliance. A short interception sequence at the end of the film draws attention to the constant watch of European airspace provided by the Alliance air forces.
