Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In Very Big December 2009 Newsletter

Hello World War 2 plane fans ---

You're invited to drop by Zeno's Drive-In www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com
for this month's showing of five exciting aviation documentary films
playing over the Internet. This month we have two Premiers plus I've
picked three of my all time personal favorites for your holiday
viewing enjoyment.

As always, all of the videos showing on our web site are for your free
viewing pleasure. The movies playing at the Matinee are now viewable
in both RealVideo and Windows Media streaming video formats.

Now showing "At the Matinee" at Zeno's Drive-In

"XB-70A Valkyrie: Phase One Flight Testing" New - Premier! The
critical first four flight tests of the revolutionary and indisputably
beautiful XB-70A bomber over 34 days at Edwards AFB are shown in
detail, culminating in its first supersonic flight - with an B-58
Hustler chase plane! Some very dramatic moments, including an in
flight engine flame out and one of the landing gear bursting into
flames during touch down. You'll see unflappable chief Test Pilot Col.
Al White and copilot Col. Joe Cotton work the sleek Valkyrie through a
series of critical tests, including landing gear, flaps, flight
controls, advanced hydraulic systems, first deployment of the folding
wing tips and more. A highlight of the film is a press conference/
debriefing by the XB-70 test flight team.

"A-26 Invaders Attack! The 416th Bomb Group in Color" Exclusive color
corrected production from Military Arts Pictures. Legendary SFP 186
combat cameramen rode along with 416th Bomb Group A-26 Invaders during
March and April, 1945 with color film in their cameras. The results
are some of the most beautiful and dramatic footage to come out of the
World War II. You'll see fleets of silver A-26 fast attack bombers
soaring through towering cumulus clouds before unloading torrents of
destruction deep inside the Third Reich. An added bonus is a cache of
remarkable still pictures showing 416th Group A-26s on location and
their crews.

"354th Fighter Group Color Scrapbook" Rare color film of the legendary
354 Fighter Group, with over 700 Kills, the highest scoring American
unit in Europe. You'll see great aces like G.T. Eagleston and B.W.
Carr at work and at play in their newly captured base in Germany in
Spring, 1945, only a few months before war's end. Nice scenes with the
group's well known P-51Ds too, including "Margie Maru" and "Angel's
Playmate." This was the first group to fly P-51s in the ETO. They were
known as the "Mustang Pioneers." Amazing color gun camera film!

Mission to Rabaul New! - Digital Audio & Video restoration from an
archival copy (Old timers may remember seeing this film at the Drive-
In years ago. We pulled it because of its inferior image quality. We
are proud to release this much improved edition.) The first step in
the strategic isolation and neutralization of the massive Japanese
Pacific Island fortress of Rabaul was the seizure of a string of
Japanese bases along the Northeast coast of New Guinea. The film
focuses on the decisive and revolutionary impact of the air component
in the strategy, including high & low level attacks, parachute drops,
and re-supply You're literally sitting in the cockpit or in the tail
gunners seat in 5th Air Force B-25G & Marine PBJ1-Gs making amazing
tree top runs. Plus, you'll see P-38s, A-20s and B-24s cooperating
with US, Australian and New Zealand Forces securing forward air bases
to strike Rabaul and invade New Britain.

"Target for Today" New -- Improved web streaming image quality. This
is the classic World War II feature length documentary detailing a
"maximum effort" daylight-bombing mission deep into Germany. There are
no actors in "Target for Today". This film was shot on location under
combat conditions and features the officers and men of the 8th Air
Force going about their deadly business. All aspects of an actual
major raid in 1943, from early planning through final touch down and
crew debriefings, are covered in this very thorough account. Anklam,
Danzig and the FW-190 plant at Marienburg are the targets hit.
Although inflating the strategic bombing campaign's effectiveness
through 1943, this is no sugar coated propaganda film. Heavy losses
and the bomber crew's justifiable trepidation about making unescorted
daylight deep penetration raids on heavily defended targets in Germany
are graphically portrayed. Over 1 and 1/2 hours of engrossing World
War II footage.

If you haven't stopped by Zeno's Drive-In before, we also feature
1940-45 vintage WWII Army & Navy films and pilot's manuals on how to
fly the F4U, F6F, P-38, P-39, P-40, P-47, P-51, P-61, TBF/TBM, AT-6/
SNJ, B-17, B-24, B-25, A-20, A-26, B-26, B-29, and Stearman N2S.
Alert! - don't miss the F-86 & B-58!

That's over 14 hours of rockin' World War II props & jets for free
viewing over the Internet!
