We have assembled this collection of various newsreels and military films into this one DVD. Subjects or titles include “U-boat Menace”, “Russia Strikes Back”, and “Flotation Gear For Tanks”. One segment is on retreating from China (U.S. forces, and civilians) which includes blowing up an airfield, plus air operations. There is a segment on supplies in Belgium, including rebuilding a railroad bridge and a couple of trains. We also see troops in the Po Valley of Italy battling conditions after heavy rains. An Army-Air Force film shows P-47 attacks on various locations in Italy, and air action before and after D-Day France. Another segment is on the British retaking Greece, and the use of C-47 transports for paratroopers. Another segment shows C-47’s and gliders in France during and after D-Day. There is a lengthy film (incomplete) on the battle for Okinawa, and another film called “Camera Thrills of the War” and includes air and ground actions.

This 2013 GSVP WWII title covers a huge variety of vintage action from both at sea & high in the sky during the early 1940s in Black & White, which includes some from Milestones of the Century that was made by Pathe Films, as well as some by Castle Films, Digest Weekly, & even the Army Pictorial Service. In addition to the Trucks, Planes, & Boats, there are also some Steam Trains in China, Belgium, & elsewhere.
