From the Spitfires which won the Battle of Britain, and the U.S. Army Air Corps Mustangs which escorted the bomber assaults on Germany's heartland, to the Lightnings and the Corsairs which dominated the Pacific, this video looks at all major United States, British and Russian combat fighters. These Allied Fighters turned the tables on the air power of Germany, Italy, and Japan.
To protect their rapidly moving troops, and later to defend against devastating Allied bombing, the Germans and Japanese deployed superb fighters as the ME-109, FW-190 and the Zero for supremacy of the skies. These and many others, including the earlier operational jets and rocket fighters, are seen in unique action footage.
During "Big Week" February 19-25, 1944, British and American forces mounted massive offensive strikes over Germany, putting 6100 bombers in the skies. Witness the devastating forces fueling the attacks: the Flying Fortress, Lancasters, Superfortresses, Liberators, Marauders, and many others.
Both German and Japanese "Blitzkriegs" relied on devastating air power to support their mobile forces early in the war. These bomber forces take you over the battlefields of Europe, the Far East, and the world's oceans -- putting you in the cockpit of the most famous Axis aircraft of the war.
Shattered by the Nazi armored assaults, the Allies had to re-equip their armies and re-think their tactics. This video shows all the major tanks of the Western and Eastern Fronts in action, T-34's, Shermans, Churchills, and many more. Allied Armor takes you to the front lines in North Africa, Normandy, Italy, and Russia.
The German Panzers swept through Poland, Holland, Belgium, France, North Afica, the Balkans and Russia in the early stages of WWII. Even after defeats at El Alamein, Stalingrad and Kursk, the Panzer divisions continued to hold Allied victory at bay until the bitter end. Axis Armor puts you right into the front line with film coverage of Panzers in action.
