Product Description
During World War II, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan divided and conquered much of the globe. When the U.S. entered the war, the battered Allies unleashed massive air power to turn back the Axis assault. This is the story of the brave men who flew the lethal bombers that spewed terror from the skies and were crucial in devastating the enemy war machine. Their heroic saga of raw courage and mechanical genius will thrill generations to come. Strategic bombing of Nazi targets throughout the European theatre set the stage for the greatest military invasion ever attempted: Normandy. Thousands of raids by B-24's and B-17's ran the gauntlet of deadly anti-aircraft guns and fighter planes to soften Nazi strongholds. This exciting film features sensational government film that documents the heroic feats of our brave airmen and their amazing airplanes. Their courageous exploits turned the tide in the battle for Europe and paved the way to victory. Operations covered in this video include: The Fight For The Sky shows the 8th Air Force in action with gripping gun camera footage of air-to-air dog fights and strafing and bombing missions that devastated the Luftwaffe and cleared the skies for our bombers. Featured is The Big Week where nearly 500 enemy planes were downed in six days. Operation Titanic tells how the Allies threw Nazi air defenses into disarray by launching simultaneous air raids from bases in England, Italy, and Russia. H-Hour chronicles how relentless bombing attacks on Nazi positions before and during the invasion saved countless lives when our troops stormed the Normandy beaches. The Two Miracles describes one of the most remarkable engineering feats of the war. The Normandy invasion changed the course of history and the B-24 played a critical role in its success. The gripping story of heroism and ingenuity remains one of the most important tales of World War II.
