This aircraft is one of only 2 operational SBD Dauntless today, so seeing this rare bird fly is unique. We will see it in Cincinnati, Ohio, arriving from its previous engagement and several close-up shots of taxi, start-ups, take-offs, landings, and some nice low passes over the field. There is a brief history of the aircraft, then live audio with minimal narration for the show. In addition to this modern footage, we have included the World War 2 film “Pacific Milk Run” which is about 17 minutes. This film, made by the Navy and Marines, shows operations off a pacific island with the SBD’s, B-25’s, TBM’s, and Corsairs in action. This film perfectly compliments the modern footage we have shot. Those radial engines sound great in our footage and in the film.

    This 2016 title, which it along with P-51 Mustangs were not only the very first WWII titles to be made by Greg on Blu-Ray, but these were also the last WWII titles to be narrated by John Edward Hingsbergen.

    Here’s the segments in order during a June 2014 visit:

    1. The Dauntless Arriving at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati from Columbus Ohio with history of the plane itself that has music included, as well as a model T-6 JS-51 on display not to mention the film: Midway with Charlton Heston.

    2. Dauntless making more start-ups, take-offs, landings, flights, & rolling on the ground the next day with JS-51 on the ground moving & even up in the air, not to mention some of the demonstrating features on the Dauntless.

    And 3. A Vintage Black & White sound film called “Pacific Milk Run” that was made in 1944.

    The June 2014 footage ran for 55 minutes, while the bonus film from the 1940s during the war ran for 18 minutes.

  2. T.A.R.

    Another great film about a great ww2 plane. See the Dantless arrive in Cincinnati, Ohio from another engagement. See lots of close up of this plane, including start ups, taxing, take offs and much more, Hear a brief history about this airplane and how it works and fly’s. Included is the ww2 film “Pacific Milk Run”, which is a 17 minute long film made by the Navy and the Marines which shows the SBD, B-25, TMB, and Corsairs in action. Great radial engine sounds included. Great film.
