of War
A hundred years of war, told one true story at a time. Watched by millions.

Take the stick. Climb through German formations, and watch for the brass roundel: it puts you in a Spitfire or a Mosquito, each flying differently from the standard Hurricane.
Why we document
The Century of War documents the violence that built the modern world. From the trenches of the First World War to the ruins of Berlin, from Pacific carrier decks to Cold War missile rooms, we follow the conflicts, operations, weapons, and decisions that redrew the map of the twentieth century.
This is not nostalgia or costume drama. It is not clean history for comfortable people.
War is machinery, doctrine, logistics, intelligence, deception, fear, courage, stupidity, sacrifice, and command decisions made with blood already on the floor.
Our work starts with the record: archives, war diaries, official reports, operational documents, eyewitness testimony, and the accounts of the men who were there. The visuals are cinematic reconstruction, built to illustrate the record, not replace it.
The standard is clear: the story must hold against the record, and the cost must not be hidden. The Century of War exists to make the past hit with the force it deserves.
