Editorial Reviews

If you are fascinated by military aviation accidents, this DVD needs to be on your bookcase. This volume is divided into the following major sections. ** Carrier Accidents. ** Accidents Resulting From Mechanical Failure. ** Takeoff Mishaps. ** Runway Crashes. ** Landing Misfortunes. ** Unintended Meetings With the Ground. ** Air Show Fireballs. This is not a tame and mild mannered television show production. These videos from the 1950s to 1980s have come from military members themselves and were often shot in haste with the equipment at hand. Accidents don't wait for the perfect moment. Some of the original video is a bit rough but you will definitely be wincing and cringing just like I did when I first saw the raw footage. Included in this video is a section of an A-1 Skyraider crash in Da Nang that I managed to recover. We get two camera angles on the incident and the aftermath. I've managed to restore, rescue and resurrect these videos of military pilots in often split second and unfortunate situations. While oftentimes the outcome was a good story to tell fellow pilots over a couple of beers, sometimes the pilots and crews were not so lucky and did not fly another day. If you ever served as pilot in command or a crew member of a military aircraft I'm sure these videos will have you puckering up and squirming as we put you back in the accident.

This review is from: Breathtaking Military Crash Videos (DVD)

DVD did not live up to its promise, much of the video is of poor quality, I suggest you give this a pass.
