Roaring Glory Warbirds TBM AVENGER DVD

Part I:  Flying the TBM

Just starting up the Wright R-2600 engine on the TBM Avenger is thrilling for any home theater pilot equipped with heavy duty amps and speakers!  The raw power surrounds you as you lift off into the sky, with expert warbird pilot and unlimited air racer Steve Hinton.  Check out the controls and handling of this massive and unique Navy torpedo bomber.  Experience the sound and fury felt by pilots in battle over Midway, Guadalcanal, Leyte Gulf and the Philippine sea.

Part II:  The Young Pilots

Shortly before Peal Harbor, Harry Badgerow was a senior at the University of Missouri.   Like many young American males, he could only dream of the adventure and action in store for him.  War planted this heroic Navy pilot aboard an aircraft carrier in the eye of the Pacific storm.  Share the sheer terror, as Kamikazes blow up the deck where the young pilot must attempt to land his bomb-laden TBM!
