Description

It is one of the most successful and important planes in history. Taking on the worst that the Luftwaffe had to offer, the Flying Fortresses of the 8th Air Force flew daylight bombing missions over the most heavily defended cities in Europe. Though they suffered unprecedented losses, the young American airmen of the 'Mighty Eighth' turned the tide of the war.With never-before-seen home movie footage of B-17s returning to their British bases and the white-knuckle recollections of pilots and bombardiers, HEAVY METAL chronicles the development and operational history of America's first four-engined bomber, flying high over wartime Berlin on the raids that eventually crippled the Nazi regime.

Much theatrical & musical presentations, much advocacy.......2004-05-07

I expected a travel video of the same quality I'm used to seeing, and was quite disappointed. Much time is spent on small, not very professional theatrical and musical presentations, some on politics with an interview with & presentation by the then president, some with the ministers of information (tourism) and economic development. Oh, yeah, some time is spent on the forts and castles built by the Europeans for the slave trade. Much of the narration and some of the interviews are not very audible, and Glover pronounces "personify" PER-son-if-y!
