5.0 out of 5 stars Complete coverage of pigeon racing, January 23, 2000
By 
Wim Peters (Somerset West, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marathon in the Sky - The Story of Pigeon Racing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The most complete video on pigeon racing that I have seen. A history of pigeons and pigeon racing is given from the early times to today. If ever a new fancier needs to know what the sport is about or an established racer wishes to hone up on his knowledge, this is the video to get. The script covers all aspects of racing, is very well written, beautifully filmed and the narration from Michael Landon is well done, clear and without padding. The flight of pigeons followed by and filmed from helicopters is particularly spectacular. An excellent buy about pigeon racing in general.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Flight Footage!, January 17, 2000
This review is from: Marathon in the Sky - The Story of Pigeon Racing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a must see film for the pigeon fancier! The pictures of the birds in flight are excellent! You'll truly get the feeling of what it is to be in flight with the birds!

5.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT Buy this VHS!, December 14, 2010
This review is from: Marathon in the Sky - The Story of Pigeon Racing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a great film but you should not buy a used VHS here. It is available as one of two pigeon programs on a DVD that Amazon sells called "The World of Pigeons". That is a much better deal than only getting the VHS.The World of Pigeons
