Description
|
|
|
|
Rob Lowe narrates the untold story of the American 8th Air Force's bloody battle to defeat the German Luftwaffe in the months leading up to D-Day. Recounted through intimate, first-person accounts of three American airmen and Stars & Stripes reporter Andy Rooney, this feature-length DVD showcases breathtaking aerial combat—including original color footage, never before seen by most Americans—of B-17 Flying Fortresses, P-47 Thunderbolts, and P-51 Mustangs on missions over Regensburg, Schweinfurt, and Berlin. By war's end, the 8th Air Force would suffer more than 26,000 combat deaths—more than the U.S. Marines lost in all of World War II.
