Why buy it when you can watch it online for free, which happens to be my favorite price

 Gona take a wild guess and say you are on a cable modem udie?   I gave it a try, kind of looks like you are watching the movie through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars from underwater.

I have it. It is an interesting movie, somewhat romanticizing of the events, but a pretty good sit nonetheless.

I always used to watch "Wings" on the Discovery channel. I have several of those recorded. The "facts" were always a bit sketchy, but you couldn't beat the gunnery film.

 Yuppers Rosco, I'm a cable user    The page had both broadband and narrow band streams. I don't know the speed of the narrow band stream though.  I watched the movie last night online, and I was suprised. It's pretty good for 1942.  

 It also stars a young David Nivvens (SP?) cool flick...

If interested in cheap vintage WWII AC films, check out William Wyler's original Memphis Belle.  The footage is really excellent, although it is sort of a propaganda film.  The narration is pleasantly dramatic.
