B-17 Daylight Raid
Description: 
The B-17 was primarily employed in the daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German industrial and military targets. The U.S. 8th Air Force based in England complemented the RAF Bomber Command's nighttime area bombing in Operation Pointblank, to help secure air superiority over Western Europe in preparation for Operation Overlord. Despite their legendary ability to absorb damage, especially in belly-landings and ditchings, aircrews faced a 1 in 3 chance of not returning from their missions. Music: Max Richter - 'On The Nature Of Daylight'.

Bombing Raid on Kiska Island
Description: 
Original colour documentary footage of B-17's and B-24's attacking Japanese forces on the island of Kiska. The Japanese captured Kiska on 6/06/1942, as a diversionary part of the Japanese plan for the Battle of Midway. This island in the Aleutian island chain, was of little military importance, but the psychological impact of losing U.S. territory was significant. 17/08/1943, the US invasion force landed, only to find the island completely abandoned. The Japanese had withdrawn the previous month under cover of fog. Allied casualties during the invasion nevertheless numbered close to 200, due to friendly fire or booby traps.
