another rare documentary:

Out of the Sun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVMO1q5FbIs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVMO1q5FbIs)

Quote

This highly-unusual promotional film for the F-16 made by General Dynamics consists mainly of interviews with 20th Century fighter-pilot aces as they recall the performance of their planes and of enemy aircraft. Aces interviewed include W.C. Bill Lambert from World War 1 (footage of Manfred Baron von Richthofen is also shown in this segment); Adolf Galland from the Spanish Civil War and World War 2; Douglas Bader, Robert Stanford-Tuck, Sven Heglund, David Lee Tex Hill, and Erich Hartmann from World War 2; Francis Gabreski from World War 2 and the Korean War; Ralph Parr from the Korean War; and Steve Ritchie from the Vietnam War. Planes discussed by the aces and shown in action include the SE5, FW-190, Spitfire, ME-109, ME-110, Hurricane, P-40, Zero, P-47, P-51, ME-262, F-86, MIG-15, and F-16. At the end of the film, the F-16 is said to display the characteristics the aces say they want in a fighter plane.

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.

The Wipers Times BBC, documentary (2013)

Quote

When Captain Fred Roberts discovered a printing press in the ruins of Ypres, Belgium in 1916, he decided to publish a satirical magazine called The Wipers Times - "Wipers" being army slang for Ypres. Full of gallows humour, The Wipers Times was poignant, subversive and very funny. Produced literally under enemy fire and defying both authority and gas attacks, the magazine proved a huge success with the troops on the western front. It was, above all, a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity. In his spare time, Roberts also managed to win the Military Cross for gallantry.
