Video: "WWII ROYAL AIR FORCE FERRY PILOT AIR TRANSPORT AUXILIARY 3456"

WWII ROYAL AIR FORCE FERRY PILOT AIR TRANSPORT AUXILIARY 3456 by PeriscopeFilm Made in 1941 by the Crown Film Unit, FERRY PILOT was directed by Pat Jackson (of "Western Approaches" fame) and focuses on the work of the Air Transport Auxiliary or ATA. By 1941, literally hundreds of RAF fighters and bombers needed to be flown each day between aircraft factories, maintenance depots and RAF aerodromes. This vital task was carried out by the men and women of the ATA, a civilian air force operating from their own pools and stations all over Britain. Essentially a dramatised account of typical ATA deliveries, the film features coverage of the ATA's own fleet of Ansons, as well as being notable for some excellent Spitfire film and very rare footage of the Whitley bomber, including take off and in-cockpit sequences.This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD. For more information visit http://www.PeriscopeFilm.com ©2015 YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066

Video: "first Rocket War on Antwerp City (1944-45) V1 and V2"

first Rocket War on Antwerp City (1944-45) V1 and V2 by MJM productions (mutadis1) http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/mutadis V1 and V2 terror on Antwerp City (1944-45) Important note: From the video we learn that the main part of the rockets fell on the populated residential areas of the city, killing thousands of citizens. The number of rockets that hit the target: the port, was merely negligible, as well as the damage they caused to it. A complete information ban by the allied military forces (under American and British command) about the bombings, could implicate that those were not unhappy with the inaccuracy of the missiles. It resulted in a big drama, for the local population. There are always more sides to one truth. ©2014 YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066
