Historical
« on: April 02, 2009, 11:15:10 PM »
Great piece of propoganda and historical footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5F5E1u75Ss&feature=related One of my favorite in that it was well done but also the propoganda value of it. I'd love to get a translation but can almost get a feel for what they are saying without one, just by looking at the video. The 30mm cannon audio dub is terrific isnt it?

Heres a cool one. A 3 part called "The Mighty 8'th" starring the B-17s of the 8'th Air Force.

Much propaganda to be sure. The first film reported 52 Luftwaffe fighters down to a cost of 2 B-17s. But still it must have been well received by a Brit Public that survived the Blitz. We can look at the propaganda value of these films today and smile but back then, circa '43/'44, this was serious business.

Anyhoo I'm a big historical footage guy. Even the dry stuff, if its WW-ll and airplanes, its all good by me. Heres some great looks on the Typhoon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iffnw_rbB1Q&feature=channel
