* Medium Bombardment & Attack with the B-25 Mitchell NEW! (Restored)
This unique film was made to indoctrinate B-25 & A-20 medium bomber
squadrons transitioning from Europe to the Pacific, with a focus on
the North American B-25. These groups were primarily tasked with
ground and anti ship attacks, inflicting huge losses on Japanese
forces, far out of proportion to their numbers. Great footage of
extremely low level action!

*416th Bomb Group Douglas A-26 Invaders Attack! Color Exclusive
original documentary Legendary SFP 186 Army Air Force combat
cameramen rode along with 416th Bomb Group A-26 Invaders during March
and April, 1945 with color film loaded in their cameras. The results
are some of the most beautiful and dramatic footage to come out of the
World War II. An added bonus is a scrapbook of remarkable 41th BG
still pictures.

* The Stilwell Road & the China-Burma-India Campaign NEW! (Restored)
The story of China-Burma-India (CBI) campaign is one of the most under-
reported, yet most dramatic, exciting and important actions in World
War 2. Narrated by Ronald Reagan, this is a very detailed strategic
and tactical account of the entire campaign in the CBI, from the
Chinese construction of the Burma Road in 1939 through the Japanese
invasion of Burma, Allied counterattacks, Japanese counterattacks and
the opening of the new Stilwell road to China in 1945. Lots of
dramatic combat footage on all fronts is supplemented by behind the
scenes looks at logistics, jungle hospitals and detailed maps that put
diverse operations in context.

* DZ Normandy:The D-Day Airborne Invasion, June 6th, 1944 This film
was produced to show the strategic and tactical planning that went
into the airborne component of the June 6th, 1944 D-Day invasion as
well as document the actual proceedings. If you think you've seen all
the surviving footage about Normandy operations, this film will be an
eye opener. Great footage of glider operations and 82nd & 101st
Division paratroopers.

* The True Glory From D-Day to the Elbe Academy Award Winner 1945
(Restored) "The True Glory" tells the breathtaking story of the Allied
sweep across Northern Europe, seen through the lenses of hundreds of
Allied combat cameramen and captured German footage. Legendary
American Writer-Director Garsin Kanin teamed up with Oscar Award
Winning Director Carole Reed and 3 time Oscar Winning writer Paddy
Chayefsky. They reviewed thousands of hours of film and hundreds of
pages of eye witness accounts and distilled them down to this fast
moving, exciting and inspirational collection of some of the finest
images, music & narration we have from World War II

* Eddie Rickenbacker & the 88th, 94th & 185th Aero Squadrons France,
1918 NEW! (Restored) Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, flying with the
94th Aero Squadron, was the leading American Ace in World War 1 with
26 victories. See other American squadrons & pilots too .This is our
first World War 1 feature!

John Ford's "The Battle of Midway" (1942) Digitally Restored. The
Battle of Midway is an Academy Award Winning documentary, directed by
four time Oscar Winner John Ford. This stirring documentary was shot
by director John Ford during the intense June 4th Japanese carrier
plane attacks on Midway Island and by Navy Combat Cameramen aboard the
USS Yorktown during the epic carrier battle, along with color gun
camera film of air to air and air to sea combat.

Operation Carpetbagger B-24s drop agents and supplies into occupied
Europe Specially modified B-24 bombers of the 492nd & 801st Bomb
Groups flew up to 40-50 high risk missions on moonlit nights over Nazi
