History World War II - Combat America DVD: History World War II Combat America DVD |
| Product Description : This DVD presents a charming history of this amazing workhorse of the skies and of the men who had the honor of flying these super bombers in missions over Germany. Clips showing the initial training of aircrews and the uneventful flight over the Atlantic of the 351st bombardment Group acquaint you with the B 17's amazing power and with the brave crew as well. The continued training and briefings prepare you for the long-awaited action over Germany, and you will see plenty of that as well, in some amazing shots of B 17's as they brush aside futile German attempts to stop them with flak and fighters. There is plenty evidence in these films to substantiate the fact that the U.S.A.A.F strongly subscribed to the adage "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!" The shots of crew enjoying themselves during breaks make you wonder whether these were really shot during World War II. The films have done a marvelous job of capturing the camaraderie that develops between men who work together under constant pressure and strain. The producers have ensured that the success of the 351st is attributed equally to both the air and the ground crews. A lively, humorous narration throughout the length of the DVD helps you to gloss over the heartbreaking moments when the squadron returns to base without some of its best men and machines. The Amazing clarity of the colored footage is also something that you will not miss noticing. |
