documentaries ever put out by the War Department
during World War II, is the final mission
of the Flying Fortress Memphis Belle as it

attack on the submarine pens at Wilhemshaven.
The entire mission is followed from beginning
to end with some of the most fantastic action
ever captured on film. Made by the Photographic
Section of the US Eighth Air Force, Memphis
Belle is a dramatic, thrilling factual account
of a real mission, supervised by the director
who won the Oscar for Mrs. Miniver. **When ordering please specify VHS or DVD

Target
For Today
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 bombing
campaign's effectiveness, this is no sugar
coated propaganda film. Heavy losses and the
bomber crew's justifiable trepidation about
making unescorted deep penetration raids on
heavily defended targets are graphically portrayed.
Over 1 and 1/2 hours of engrossing World War
II footage.
**When ordering please specify VHS or DVD. 90 min.
$20.00
