Title: Rehashed War Department Footage
Product review: 'Warships: Leyte Gulf to Tokyo Bay' simply has a handful of old WW2 training/news films such as 'Your Ship' on it. If that wasn't bad enough they didn't bother to clean up the footage or the audio and it has numerous skips and other issues with both the audio and the film itself. Somewhat comical is that each clip has a dire 'do not copy' warning attached to it. Isn't this stuff all public domain?! Some of the footage IS indeed interesting but the narration is all but useless unless you are studying the old training films themselves. Anyone looking for some historical perspective or analysis on WW2 naval operations can look elsewhere as there is none here at all. For die hard naval fans only or those interested only in the footage itself.
