Product Information
This collections gathers five classic documentary films produced by American filmmakers during World War II:REPORT FROM THE ALEUTIANS: A profile of life for the soldiers assigned to the Aleutians Islands in the North Pacific, the most remote outpost of World War II. John Huston directed and narrated most of this documentary from the island of Adak for six months with his camera crew. Adak was a bomber base for raids against Kiska Island, of the Japanese. Huston and his crew came very close to getting killed during one of those raids while shooting a crucial and very real bombing scene. He captured the value of the troops back at the base during the destitution of this horrible war. The sacrifice, the bloodshed, the commitment, the strength, and the intensity these brave men gave up for their country is all well documented and portrayed in REPORT FROM THE ALEUTIANS.THE FIGHTING LADY: The outstanding story of the U.S.S. Enterprise, the Fighting Lady. This carrier fought in numerous battles such as Midway, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Features some of the best gun camera action ever recorded by Navy pilots in World War II.HOOK DOWN, WHEELS DOWN: The history of the carrier includes footage of B-25s launching from the Hornet for Doolittle's Tokyo raid.COMBAT AMERICA: Produced in 1943 under the guidance of Army Air Force Lieutenant Clark Gable, this film follows a single 8th Air Force B-17 crew from training through a series of missions over Europe.THUNDERBOLT: A chronicle of "Operation Strangle" in which the 57th Bomber Group destroyed supply routes behind German lines.Product Identifiers
