Title: excellent choice
Product review: The dramatic script and musical score will quickly expose the age of this documentary, but in many ways it remains a timeless set with excellent footage narrated by Walter Cronkite. It reflects some of the "air power won the war!" attitude of the immediate post-war decades, but it is also fairly balanced and despite being funded by the Air Force it does not disregard the Navy. It suffers, as all air power documentaries seem to, from some historically inaccurate editing (e.g., VIII Bomber Command Liberators seemingly bombing Rabaul), but much of the footage is true to the locations and/or events that are being described, making it a must-have for the WWII or Aviation enthusiast. This is predominantly a history of US air power, but footage includes aircraft from all the major combatants, including some great German and Japanese clips (most likely taken from wartime propaganda reels). Don't let the age of these episodes delude you...in my opinion a finer series has yet to be done.
