WWII: HELL ON EARTH AND THUNDER ABOVE IT (10-pk) contains HELL IN THE PACIFIC: THE LAST GREAT NAVAL WAR (5-PK) and THE WARPLANES OF WWII: LEGENDARY COMBAT AIRCRAFT (5-PK). HELL IN THE PACIFIC: THE LAST GREAT NAVAL WAR: The Pacific war was the largest naval conflict in history. Across the huge expanses of the Pacific, the two most powerful navies in the world found themselves locked in a death struggle. The war was fought in every possible climate, from Arctic conditions in the Aleutians, to the appalling heat and swelter of the South Pacific. Every conceivable type of naval activity was represented: carrier aviation battles, surface engagements, bitterly fought night-battles, the largest amphibious landings of the entire war, and the stealthy, brutal battles waged by and against submarines. This 5-DVD set includes rare combat footage (much of it in original color) and exclusive interviews with veterans from both sides of the war. This is the complete and unique story of the last naval campaign in history. THE WARPLANES OF WWII: LEGENDARY COMBAT AIRCRAFT: Control of the air became the key to military victory during World War Two. Axis and Allied pilots turned the skies over Europe and the Pacific into one of history"s bloodiest arenas. THE WARPLANES OF WWII provides a bird"s eye view of the action, thanks to rare newsreel footage, some of which has never been seen in 60 years. You will bear witness to the German Blitzkrieg in Poland and France, along with RAF"s heroic stand against the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. The series also dramatizes what modern air squadrons could do to traditional ground and sea forces—from the Japanese Imperial Navy’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor to the daring daylight bombing raids of the US Air Forces over Europe. Later, of course, American delivered the horrifying atomic payloads upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki that brought the war to a close. This 5-DVD set covers these aspects of the conflict, providing the most fascinating and complete look at the struggle for sky born supremacy ever assembled.
