The Rain of Steel
- VHS Video
Strategic bombing was essential to the U.S. victories
in Europe and Japan during World War II. But aside
from ultimate success, the air wars fought in the
Pacific and Atlantic shared very little. This authoritative
program uses extensive expert commentary, interviews
with veterans and remarkable footage to tell the story
of strategic bombing in World War II. From the planes
such as the battle-proven B-27 in Europe and the modern,
high-flying B-29 in the Pacific to the underlying
strategies, explore the astonishing differences between
the two theaters. See the results of the devastating
firestorms at Dresden and Tokyo, where incendiary
bombs produced temperatures of over 1,000 degrees
centigrade, winds that sucked away trees three feet
in diameter, and more deaths than Hiroshima. Our Century
profiles the role of the bomber in WWII, from nighttime
raids over Berlin to the historic missions that unleashed
the atom bomb on mankind. 50 min. |

History Undercover:
Air America - VHS Video
The CIA's Secret Airline When the final refugees
were airlifted from the roof of the American embassy
in Saigon, the helicopter that took them to freedom
was not part of the U.S. military. Instead, it was
flown by one of the most storied clandestine operations
in the history of the CIA - Air America. History Undercover
talks to over a dozen former Air America employees
to create the definitive chronicle of the shadowy
airline. From its origins with the legendary Flying
Tigers of WWII to the final days of the Vietnam War,
we'll see how Air America was a cornerstone of U.S.
Southeast Asian policy for nearly a quarter century.
While maintaining a thin cover, the group flew clandestine
missions over China, Korea, and Vietnam, piloted by
men who were no less remarkable than the airline itself.
Though the Cold War has ended, the legacy of these
unique flyers lives on, living up to their logo: "Anything,
Anytime, Anywhere, Professionally." 50 min. |
