DVD Reviews of Air Power
DVD Review: Heavily Edited - Wish I'd known
Summary: 1 Stars
Those individuals who have seen this series on television will likely be disappointed. The episodes have been very heavily edited and some of the more memorable scenes have been slashed away completely. Additionally, the titles of a number of the episodes have been changed. It would have been nice to have known prior to ordering that the product is not a DVD release of even a portion of the complete episodes of the television series, but rather a set of very heavily edited episodes with a dubious (though unknown) set of editing criteria. On the bright side, however, the transfer of the episode fragments to DVD technology was done quite well and the picture quality was better than I had expected it could be.DVD Review: Air Power
Summary: 4 Stars
Just as I remembered it. The dulcet tones of Walter Kronkite and some amazing footageDVD Review: Outstanding DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
With this series and a copy of Victory at Sea you will have every foot of 16mm film of WWII aviation that you could ever possibly want.Also, the bonus video on the P-47, P51, B-17, B-24 and RAF and Luftwaffe is tremendous. A wonderful compilation of WWII Aviation History.DVD Review: Air Power with narration by Walter Cronkite
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been a major collector of WW 2 films. In fact, I had my own home movie theatre where I showed 16mm films in a 15 seat setting. I owned original prints of Victory at Sea, Battle Line, Biography (with a young Mike Wallace narrating), World at War and others. However, I found it very difficult to find one of my favorite series aired in 1956, AIR POWER. What I remembered the most was the beautiful opening and the music by the CBS Orchestra. I love seeing the complete film of any series, including opening and closings and the related credits. Unfortunately, the edited films available now (either on tape or DVD) have rearranged the original series and only at the beginning of each tape or DVD does it show the opening shots of the planes and the original theme music. That is what I miss, but otherwise, it was one of the finest docs ever produced on the WW2 planes and their effect on the outcome of the war.DVD Review: ITS ALL HERE !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first thing you need to know about this film is "WALTER CRONKITE"! Just the fact that hes on it makes it worth the price! Everything you could possibly want to know about the planes that flew in WWI is here! Its the best documentary on this subject I've ever seen!
