F-117 Goes to War by Warren E. Thompson – Ride along with the “Bandits of Baghdad” as they take the airwar to Iraq’s capital. Warren Thompson’s interviews of Nighthawk pilots give us insight into the planning that was necessary to make these raids successful, describe the weapons used to destroy enemy equipment and show us how they managed not to lose a single plane.
Pearl Harbor by Barrett Tillman – Barrett Tillman gives us an overview of the Pearl Harbor attack, including what led up to it and which types of planes were used by both sides. It is an interesting historical perspective with an informative sidebar about the only plane that still exists from that fateful day.
Midair Collision by Jim Chilton – He looked up, and suddenly, there was a C-119! Jim Chilton tells of his incredible midair collision during a ceremonial formation flyby and how he was one of the lucky few to survive – an incredible account of how things can go wrong very quickly.
Rocket Man by Barry E. DiGregorio – It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a guy in a Rocket Belt. Check out Barry DiGregorio’s story of the man-flying Rocket Belt. Three versions were produced, and Barry interviews the brave pilot who flew all three.
Night Hung by Dr. Rolf Ebhardt and Christoper L. Stuart – Although they knew the War was not going their way, Luftwaffe Bf 110 crews still continued to fly the night missions to try to deter the British bomber formations. Ride along with Rolf Ebhardt as he relates the story of his most memorable mission.
Vietnam Prison Raid by John Waresh – A story worth telling: A-1E Skyraider pilot John Waresh takes on a covert mission that turned out to be a bust! The anticipated rescue of some 30 American POWs from the Son Tay prison camp was a well-planned mission, but it quickly turned ugly.
