5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING WWII COMBAT FILMS I HAD NO IDEA EXISTED, June 6, 2007

Wow is this an incredible bit of history! Not only do you get to see B-17s and Lancasters plastering Germany in "Target for Today", but I was surprised by "Target Berlin" which is also a really interesting and undervalued movie. These are "lost" films which I saw as a kid, and I'm delighted to finally be able to add them to my video collection.

Another reviewer wrote about the quality of these films...they are pretty much what I remember when I saw them forty years ago...which is crummy combat footage that looks like what it is, shot with a 16mm movie camera by some poor guy freezing his patooties off in a bomber at 40,000 feet. Whatever! The films themselves are amazing.

Had a "Stutter" problem two thirds of the way through this disc. Got a replacement and I have the same problem...
The content I can take or leave, no better or worse than a lot of others...

5.0 out of 5 stars 8th air force in combat over germany, June 14, 2007

i just watched this and some of the companion films, made during the second world war. these are really pretty amazing films from amazing times, when the military actively made films to talk about the war and the progress of the war. what you see in these films is i guess a bit dolled up, but it is nevertheless pretty thrilling. so many young americans died in the fight across Germany's skies, and these films are maybe the best living tribute to what happened over there except our real live vets. anyway well worth a look. don't expect a standard history channel documentary though, these are old fashioned films from the 40's.
