Product Description

No Music - No Distracting Narration - Just screaming pistons in full stereo sound

Living Warbirds: Steel Warriors puts you on the tarmac so you can see, hear, and feel the fierce power of these magnificent warbirds: the roar of the engines starting, closeups of the beautifully restored aircraft, takeoffs, multiple flybys, and landings.

From World War I and World War II, to every other major conflict of the 20th century, victory would not have been possible without the most advanced fighting machines of their time. In battles over Europe, African, Asia, and the Pacific, fighter planes like the P-51 Mustang and bombers like the B-29 Superfortress carried and protected our brave men and women. After their missions were complete, most of these warbirds were neglected and abandoned. A few survived, lovingly restored by warbird enthusists around the world. Living Warbirds: Steel Warriors features these historic airplanes in all of their glory, reminding us of the critical roles they played in the greatest wars of our time.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love warbirds, you'll LOVE this DVD!, July 18, 2009

IH "Indian stand up comedy" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Living Warbirds: Steel Warriors (DVD)

From the closeups of the classic warbirds, to the idling engines as they taxi by, to the screaming engines as they fly past, this DVD is excellent.

There is no music or narration, just the sweet sounds of the roaring engines!

And the closeups of the aircraft are beautiful. There are over 50 warbirds featured on this great DVD, including popular ones such as the P-51 Mustang and SNJ, and rare ones such as the Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero.

Summary? FIVE STARS!

This review is from: Living Warbirds: Steel Warriors (DVD)

I just finished watching this DVD and I'm very impressed. We have an air history museum here in Kalamazoo and the planes they have are as good as these.
The one thing is that the sound is just like being at an air show. Adds to the excitement of the people around taking pictures and chattering away. Not a problem. It's like "you are there." Would be nicer it there were more starting of the engines and even the shut downs. Not a problem however. This is fun to watch for all ages.
