Title: Would you buy this DVD?
Post by: C(Sea)Bass on January 24, 2008, 04:27:10 PM

I was in Best Buy last weekend waiting for my laptop to be fixed and was browsing the DVD aisle. I cam across one about WW2 aircraft. I forget the name of it but this is almost exactly what it said on the back...

"...This series covers all of the important aviation events of the Second World War. In depth analysis of the aircraft and testimonials by crew members and historians are included in each segment. Included are events such as the German bombing of London, Dolittle's B-24 raid on Tokyo, and the birth a the jet..."

From that excerpt can you figure out why I laughed and put it back on the shelf.
P.S. There are no Typing errors on MY part in it.

I think it was. I had that kind of look to it, but I don't remember seeing their logo on it.

B-24 sorta looks like a B-25...if you squint real hard.

The documentary may be fairly good quality.  The distributor may have hired a cheap graphic designer to do the packaging.

Then again, if I was in the store like you, I would have set it back myself :)
