Deadmen's Secrets:
Mysterious Death
of Joseph Kennedy - VHS Video
He was a war hero whose future had unlimited
potential. But a mysterious accident in the skies
over Britain took his life. Film examines the many
questions surrounding the death of Joseph Kennedy,
Jr., interviewing experts and examining the hard
facts in the case. Kennedy was piloting a U.S. Navy
Liberator bomber on a top-secret mission to take
out a Nazi rocket base when his plane exploded in
mid-air. The official cover-up began almost immediately,
but we know that the plane had been packed with
explosives and the mission plan called for Kennedy
and his co-pilot to bail out over Kent, from where
the bomber would be flown to its target via remote
control. Did something go wrong with the system
and cause the premature detonation, or was there
a more sinister reason for the explosion? The question
only became more puzzling when an official report
was released during JFK's presidency. Using computer
simulations, archival footage, and in-depth analysis,
video looks at the accident that started the tales
of the "Kennedy curse." 50 minutes. |

Deadmen's Secrets:
Mysterious Death
of Yamamoto - VHS Video
On April 18th 1943, U.S. fighters shot down
the aircraft carrying Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto,
the chief architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Yamamoto was visiting the forward Japanese bases
at Bougainville, some 650 miles from the nearest
U.S. base at Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. The
attack came so far from their territory that it
had to be more than simple coincidence-the U.S.
pilots knew where Yamamoto was going to be. Program
reveals exactly how Yamamoto became the first enemy
war leader to be officially assassinated by the
U.S. government. Compromised Japanese codes and
intercepted transmissions combined to give the U.S.
detailed information of Yamamoto's itinerary, and
pinpoint navigation by the members of the strike
force led to the fatal attack. Also features interviews
with the American pilots who shot down Yamamoto's
plane, and explains why the mission remained a secret
until after the war. 50 minutes. |
