Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In Big June 2010 Newsletter

Hello World War 2 & jet aircraft fans --

You are invited to drop by Zeno's Drive-In
http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/
for this month's flight of five exciting aviation & combat documentary
films playing over the Internet. We're commemorating the 66th
Anniversary of the D-Day landings and the liberation of Western Europe
with a showing of the Academy Award Winning feature length film, "The
True Glory: From D-Day to the Elbe," plus two premiers, "Operation
Carpetbagger" and "Operating Light & Medium Tanks in World War 2."

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

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

"Operation Carpetbagger: Air Dropping Agents and Supplies into Nazi
Occupied Europe" New - Premier! From the Archives of the Central
Intelligence Agency. This special operation was too secret to be
revealed during World War II. Specially modified B-24 bombers of the
492nd & 801st Bomb Groups flew up to 40-50 high risk missions on
moonlit nights over Nazi occupied Europe, dropping agents and supplies
to 300,000 Resistance members. The operation was run by the O.S.S.
"Carpetbagger" group out of an airfield at Harrington, England. You'll
see B-24 operations as well as a detailed look at the huge, well
camouflaged supply facility at nearby Holme. Highlights include O.S.S
mission planning and flight operations briefing sessions and a very
detailed account of how different kinds of weapons, ammunition and
other essentials were packed in custom containers and loaded onto
modified B-24s for parachute drop.

"The 354th Fighter Group 'Mustang Pioneers' Color Scrapbook" Color.
Exclusive Documentary from Military Arts Pictures. 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.
Vivid 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!

"The True Glory : From D-Day to the Elbe" Academy Award Winner" This
feature length film tells the breathtaking story of the Allied sweep
across Northern Europe, as seen through the lenses of hundreds of
Combat Cameramen. Legendary American Writer-Director Garsin Kanin
("Born Yesterday," "Adam's Rib," "Pat & Mike) teamed up with Oscar
Award Winning Director Carole Reed (Oliver!, The Third Man (nominee)
and 3 time Oscar Winning writer Paddy Chayefsky (Marty, Network, The
Hospital).They reviewed thousands of hours of film and hundreds of
pages of eye witness accounts and distilled them down to this exciting
and inspirational collection of some of the finest images, music &
narration from World War II. Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower introduces the theme of this picture in the memorable
opening scene, "Teamwork Wins Wars." Though only a few minutes long,
this is one of Ike's finest addresses. You'll see the strength in the
man who held it all together. "The True Glory" takes you through the
major episodes of the northern European Campaign, starting with
Invasion preparations, the D-Day landings & consolidation, the capture
of Cherbourg, fighting in Caen, the Falaise breakout, the race to
liberate France, Operation Market Garden, the French resistance
Operations, retaking Antwerp & Brussels, the Battle of the Bulge, and
the crossing of the Rhine and the final campaign into Germany to
defeat the Nazis.

"Operating Light & Medium Tanks in World War 2 NEW Premier! Features
M5 "Stuart" light and M3 "Lee" medium tanks inside and out in a
variety of situations. You'll learn about engines, instruments, fuel
systems, starting, gear shifting, turning, breaking, general driving
instruction, track maintenance and more. You'll also learn the
advantages and disadvantages of each type of tank in the field and the
roles of different crew members.

"Aerial Torpedo Attack - High Speed High Altitude" Every once in a
while, a previously unknown film comes out of the past that raises the
curtain on a forgotten chapter of military history. This film does
just that, illuminating the science of naval aerial torpedo attacks.
Originally developed to educate pilots about newly developed torpedoes
that could be dropped from higher (and therefore less vulnerable)
altitudes and speeds, the film also gives a thorough grounding in
torpedo attacks in general. You'll learn about depth setting, range
estimation, target angles, leading the target, the effect of
crosswinds, working with fighters and dive bombers during an attack,
using radar, countering evasive ship maneuvers and much more. You'll
also see how far we've come from an analog world where printed charts
were cross referenced during combat.

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!

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