Roaring Glory Warbirds P-38 LIGHTNING DVD

Part I:  Flying the P-38

Pilots proclaimed it the hottest fighter of World War II.  Now you can decide.   The famous Lightning claimed its name by birthright: it was the first fighter to amazingly top 400 miles per hour!  Warbird pilot Jeff Ethell takes you along on a mission in this incredible turbocharged, twin-engined interceptor - an aerial adventure, complete with the thrill of digital Dolby Surround sound.

Part II:  The Young Pilots

Why did teenage kids sign up to face the terror of aerial combat?  Was it the chance to fly the fastest fighter planes?  Experience the thrill of horsepower and firepower?  Wounded in a crash landing, pilot Richard Brown wanted so badly to continue to fly, he kept his leg injury a secret.  Young pilot Art Thorsen had a chilling premonition that became real terror in thick fog above Berlin.  Both amazing true stories reveal the personal lives of The Young Pilots.
