Geronimo: The U.S. Airborne In WWII
The United States Airborne played a major role in the success of Allied operations throughout World War II. From their first jumps in North Africa and Sicily, to the massive drops in Normandy and Holland, the Airborne was an important part of Allied military strategy. Initially conceived as an assault force able to parachute behind enemy lines, to seize and hold strategic areas until ground forces could link up with them, the Airborne unites were used in many different ways. From dropping in to capture key positions behind enemy lines in Normandy and Holland, to fighting as tough ground forces at Anzio and the Battle of the Bulge, the Airborne was ready for anything. Elite, confident, and ready for action, the men of the United States Airborne were the best trained and best conditioned fighting force of the war. These men represented the finest combat troops America had to offer and they proved it in the face of unbelievable odds and under the most extreme conditions. This Documentary is THEIR story.

In the chaotic aftermath of the First World War, the vast Pacific Ocean becomes the flash point for a new crisis, a struggle between militaristic Japan and isolationist America. Japan, eager for raw materials to feed her fledgling industries, invades Manchuria and later China. The fighting in Asia sets Japan on a collision course with the United States, a course that will ultimately lead to Hiroshima and Nagaski. On December 7, 1941, the uneasy peace is shattered as the Japanese carrier fleet launches a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and the island of Oahu. Within thirty minutes, the power of the United States Pacific Fleet is devastated. By the end of the attack, seven battleships are damaged or sunk, half the aircraft on the island are wiped out and 2,400 American lives are lost. The story told here is one of global forces, of fascism and imperialism. It is the story of one of the most momentous events in American history and of a crucial turning point in the 20th Century. Most importantly, it is the story of the people who were there, told through the eyewitness accounts of both American and Japanese veterans, some whose stories have never been told. This is a story of courage, heroism and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. This is the story of Pearl Harbor.
Guadalcanal: Island Of Death
In the summer of 1942, America was still reeling from the attack on Pearl Harbor and the humiliating victories of the Japanese throughout the Far East.

Watch in horror as you are hurled back in time, right into the devastating air battles of World War II. Told through eyewitness accounts of B-24 crews, this program examines the role the B-24 played in pulvering the German was machine from the air.
The success of the German army in the first half of World War II was due in large part to German supremacy in the air. The Luftwaffe, working closely with German army units on the ground, seemed in the verge of world domination. However, with America's entrance into the war, the battle for the skies over Europe was on. Even with Germany throwing advance warplanes such as the Me 262 jet at the Allied planes, the Luftwaffe was falling apart at the seams. Relive the harrowing accounts of these battles as told by both German and American pilots.

Fly with our veterans as they dodge trees, flak and fighters during their zero-altitude missions against enemy ground targets.
The P-51 Mustang rose from obscurity to become the greatest long-range fighter in aviation history.

But in its infancy, the Mustang flashed none if its war-winning potential. We trace the P-51's development from its origin through its re-emergence as the dominant aerial weapon of World War II.
A big, bare-knuckle brawler of a fighter, the P-47 combined rugged durablilty with devastating firepower. Built to be the ultimate high alitude fighter of the war, the Thunderbolt helped drive the Luftwaffe from the skies of Europe.

The American Aviator: The Howard Hughes Story
If a young man of the 1920s were asked to describe his wildest dreams, what would he think of? How about a fortune, the ability to buy whatever he wanted? He might dream of going to Hollywood, of making movies, doing them all his way. And women; dating the most beautiful actresses of the day. If he really stretched, he might fantasize himself a famous flyer, designing and building his own aircraft, flying them to break records. Flying around the world, becoming as famous as Lindbergh, being hailed as an international hero, applauded by kings, presidents, ticker tape parades... And while he was at it, he'd build a business empire, buy airlines, hotels, casinos, anything he could turn his mind to. Well, a boy could dream. Howard Robard Hughes, Jr. did more than dream; for him, it all came true. Yet behind the glamour, the fame, the fabulous wealth, there lurked a darker side, a sick, isolated and deeply unhappy man who hid behind his image and ended up a prisoner of his own insanity. This is his story.
As a filmmaker, Howard Hughes produced some of Hollywood's most enduring films, including Hell's Angels in 1930 and Scarface in 1932. He is perhaps best remembered for The Outlaw (1943), a controversial western that introduced Jane Russell to the nation. (123 Minutes)
