Video: "B-25 : Mission to Rabaul - Nonstop action in the South West Pacific 1943"

Mission to Rabaul - Nonstop action in the South West Pacific 1943 by ZenosWarbirds "This is one of the all time classic documentaries to come out of World War 2 -- an action packed epic! I digitally restored the audio & video."

Rabaul, a large natural harbor on the eastern end of the huge Island of New Britain (located northeast of New Guinea in the Southwest Pacific) was an essential strategic linchpin for the Japanese from which they could project their forces throughout the region. They poured tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of airplanes, and thousands of tons of supplies and material into this base to make it a mighty fortress. The Allies' brilliant solution to the Rabaul conundrum was to isolate it, slowly starve it, and bypass it -- rather than assault it directly. This dramatic, high impact documentary film shows some of the most memorable, exciting, and extensive footage of 5th Air Force B-25G bombers conducting tree top level attacks with machine guns and delayed action bombs to come out of World War 2 .The first step in the reduction of Rabaul was the seizure of a string of Japanese bases along the Northeast coast of New Guinea. The film focuses on the decisive and revolutionary impact of the air component in the strategy, including high & low level attacks, parachute drops, and resupply, accompanied by a magnificent musical score drawn from Holst's "The Planets." You're literally sitting in the cockpit or in the tail gunners seat watching amazing low level attack runs. You'll also see P-38s, A-20s, B-25s and B-24 cooperating with US Australian and New Zealand Forces securing forward air bases to strike against Rabaul and for the invasion of New Britain. "Mission to Rabaul" shows how each piece of this classic strategy culminated inevitably in the first escorted, massed bomber strike on Rabaul on 12th October, 1943 an essential goal in the reduction of Japanese defenses. ©2014 YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066

Petits conseils d'utilisation :
Mode plein écran = F11:  Le site est plus agréable à visionner en mode plein écran. Pour y accéder, il suffit de taper sur la touche F11. C'est un raccourci de Windows qui fait disparaître les barres de titre et de menus pour n'afficher que le contenu de la fenêtre active. Les menus masqués restent néanmoins accessibles,  vous les retrouverez en déplaçant  la souris vers le bord supérieur de l'écran. Pour quitter ce mode plein écran, il suffit de taper à nouveau sur la touche F11 et le tour est joué.

Diaporama et clavier : Le diaporama est aussi commandable au clavier. La flèche gauche ou droite vous permet d'accéder à l'image précédente ou suivante. La barre d'espacement permet de le mettre en pause et une seconde pression sur la barre d'espacement relance le défilement automatique.
