$19.95	Air War Film Expo Vol. 1 - VHS Video Running time 1:26. Two great WWII aviation documentaries. Fight for the Sky - Narrated by Ronald Reagan. 8th Air Force armadas of B-17s batter Germany while P-38, P-47 and P-51 fighters sweep the land and sky. Superb gun camera shots of low level action and air-to-air combat. Report from the Aleutians - John Huston documents the rugged flying conditions on Adak Island.

These patrol amphibians were converted to night bombers and dressed in black nightgowns to stalk their prey in the dead of night. (B&W, 20 min.)		$19.95	Ball Turret Gunners Suicide Missions - VHS Video In World War II, thousands of B-17 bombers flew over Nazi Germany, using millions of tons of bombs to reduce the German military industrial machine to rubble. In each bomber, a man sat in a glass bubble hung below the fuselage, his hands on the controls of an anti-aircraft gun designed to protect the planes from attacks from below. "Flying the ball," as the men who manned these exposed guns called it, was one of the most dangerous assignments of the war. But it was also essential to the survival of the bombers and-ultimately-the Allied victory. Ball Turret Gunners uses extensive World War II combat footage and interviews with the men who performed this suicidal task to bring home the horror and danger that they experienced every day. It is a portrait of danger that few will ever face, a harrowing glimpse into a deadly duty that was justified only by the dire circumstances of war. 50 min.

Arnold called the raid "...the greatest strike ever." 92 min.		$24.95	Kamikaze in Color - VHS Video To the Kamikaze, bomb and bomber were one and the same.
