Weapons at War:
The Bomber Group
- VHS Video
They filled the skies over Germany during World War
II. From high above Vietnam, they rained death and
destruction on the jungle below. Their pinpoint accuracy
played a vital role in the Gulf War. But do heavy
bombers have a place in the military of the future?
Bomber Group is a comprehensive look at the history
of strategic bombing. Fly along on some of the very
first missions in World War I, and see how American
general Billy Mitchell revolutionized the tactics
and strategies during World War II. Stunning footage
from some of the most important bombing raids in history
show his theories in action. Military experts detail
the technological advances that transformed the lumbering
planes into devastating weapons, while former pilots
and crewmembers tell what it was like to fly in classic
bombers like the B-17 and B-29. Finally, examine the
controversial role of heavy bombers today since cruise
missiles can strike targets without risking the lives
of airmen, are the days of the mighty, high-flying
bomber finished? 50 min. |

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. |
