A unique modern day look at a historic aircraft.
The first and only series that puts you into the pilot's seat of a World War
II fighter to experience the thrill of aerial combat. Every sound effect - from
the click of a battery switch to the rumble and cough of an engine starting up -
has been recorded digitally. The magic of Dolby Digital surround sound will test
the limit of your speaker system as you lift off an aircraft carrier for a
mission unmatched in home entertainment.
Part I: Flying the F4U
Warbird pilot and unlimited air racer Steve Hinton takes you along on an aerial
adventure in the legendary US Marine Corps fighter flown by ace pilot major
Gregory "Pappy" Boyington and his Black Sheep Squadron. This aircraft is the
Marines' most famous prop-driven fighter. With 2,100 horsepower up front, the
F4U served as both a land-and-carrier based fighter - starting with its
conception in 1938 - through World War II, the Korean Conflict and the Indo
China war. Crank up the volume and feel the magic of Dolby Surround Sound, turn
your home theater into the cockpit of the mighty F4U Corsair.
Part II: The Young Pilots
The true exploits of US Marine Corps pilot Verne Salisbury during the heat
of aerial combat over the South Pacific make this daring episode of Roaring
Glory Warbirds the most exciting one yet! From his life-and-death dogfights with
Japanese Zero fighter aces - to terrifying saboteurs at his own base - this
young pilot experienced war as few men have. Even a training mission in the
newly-designed F4U Corsair nearly cost him his life, when both fuel supply and
luck ran out!
