Product Description
-------------------
No Music - No Distracting Narration - Just screaming pistons in
full stereo sound
Living Warbirds: Steel Warriors puts you on the tarmac so you can
see, hear, and feel the fierce power of these magnificent
warbirds: the roar of the engines starting, closeups of the
beautifully restored aircraft, takeoffs, multiple flybys, and
landings.
From World War I and World War II, to every other major conflict
of the 20th century, victory would not have been possible without
the most advanced fighting machines of their time. In battles
over Europe, African, Asia, and the Pacific, fighter planes like
the P-51 Mustang and bombers like the B-29 Superfortress carried
and protected our brave men and women. After their missions were
complete, most of these warbirds were neglected and abandoned. A
few survived, lovingly restored by warbird enthusists around the
world. Living Warbirds: Steel Warriors features these historic
airplanes in all of their glory, reminding us of the critical
roles they played in the greatest wars of our time.
