TOTAL RUN TIME: 149 MINUTES

Film #1 - Combat America

(Clark Gable)
Produced at the command of General Henry H. Arnold, Commanding General of the Army Air Forces, this film follows the Flying Fortress crews of the 351st Bombardment Group from the end of their training at a Colorado training field to actual combat over Germany.

After his wife (Carole Lombard) was killed in a plane crash, a grieving Clark Gable joined the Army Air Corps and requested immediate combat action. The Army decided to record the activities of his group, the 351st, and use the film as an orientation for gunners training to serve in Europe. Although this film focuses on the actual missions of the group, Gable narrates and appears in several short scenes where he interviews his fellow airmen. This movie covers all aspects of an Army Air Force Gunner's life from his leisure activities to actual combat over Europe. It also deals with the harsh reality of death and tending to the seriously wounded. This film contains actual combat footage and has quite a bit of historical value

Pete is killed outright, Johnny dies on the operating table, his last words, "I've got to write a letter"...

Film #4 - It's Everybody's War

Narrated by the great 1940's actor - HENRY FONDA.
Portrays one town's struggles with losing boys in the war. Presented by 20th Century Fox and narrated by Henry Fonda, it's clear there that this film won't pull any punches about how a town cheered when the boys went to war, then slowly, as the war dragged on, how that slowly lead to dread. But soon the town realized if they increased production, and rationed everything, that would increase the speediness of the boys coming home. Excellent production values and acting, this film comes highly recommended!

Highly negative narration by Joseph C. Grew, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan, who says "you cannot measure the Japanese sense of logic by any Western yardstick - Their weapons are modern; their thinking 2000 years out of date."

Film #6 - Freedom Comes High

Featuring actor James Craig and the beautiful actress, Barbara Britton.
A fast-paced drama about a young married couple, Steve and Ellen, who are divided by Steve's enlistment in the Navy during World War II. While entering enemy waters, Steve's ship is struck during battle. Steve's spirit appears as Ellen reads the last letter he wrote to her: "I am sure you'll understand that whatever I do for you and the baby is more important right now than anything else in the world. The value of these things can't be measured in ordinary ways, but must be paid for in dollars and cents -- sometimes in lives. "Freedom Comes High". No matter what happens, I shall always be with you." These words console Ellen as she receives the telegram announcing his death. Vice Admiral John H. Towers, Commander Air Force Pacific Islands then appears to encourage the buying of war bonds ("You do your share, we'll do ours") to drive the Japanese troops from the sea and the air, so that then they will "be utterly doomed".

Film #7 - Remember These Faces

Intense view of American soldiers in combat, produced to sell war bonds.
Classic, one of a kind, color film that shows American soldiers in action. Horrific in many ways, this top-notch propaganda film focuses primarily on the death and suffering caused by the war. Incredible "Real Footage" of soldiers while in battle and the pipeline that was formed to handle the dead and wounded. This is an Amazing film that pulled at the heart strings of many American's during the mid-1940's.
