2.0 out of 5 stars Very Old And Disappointing!, April 19, 2008

This review is from: Modern Combat: The West's Combat Helicopters (DVD)

DVD was much older than what was let on. It doesn't even cover many of our current combat helicopters. The current combat helicopters that it does cover, it shows them in their very early stages. Some of the footage was decent, but it was like watching an old documentary from the '70s. Horrible narration. If you are looking for archive footage it is great, but if you want something more modern go with the Military Top Tens DVD w/ the Top Ten Helicopters feature on it.

This review is from: Modern Combat: The West's Combat Helicopters (DVD)

A great "infomentary" briefly but thoroughly detailing 20th century (NATO) military helicoipters. Keep in mind the film was relased in DVD format in 2006 BUT produced in the 80's and is therefore an item of the Cold War era. Suffice it to say, all the Helicopters presented here are still in use today.
