All these fine young men TV Special in the Mid 80's

Sun Nov 18, 2007 11:45 pm

Greetings
I was going through my VHS Tapes and ran across a show that I got 3/4 recorded the title was All these fine young men. It was a special on the Mighty Eight Airforce in WW2 in England . Some really interesting interviews . Good raw footage of Combat. At the end of it all their was a Camo of the Airzona CAF B-17. Dose anybody remember this special ? I know that it was shown during the Election year because of the Crawler that was showing election results . Would like to get a Copy of it if it was ever put to tape or DVD.

I remember it and think I taped it as well, but I don't know where the tape is at the moment.

Every now and then, I've looked around to see if this was available on tape or DVD but I've not had any luck finding it for sale. The same question comes up internet discussion that I find through searching.

Since you mentioned it, I'm going to look again. It's listed in this NBC catalog: http://nbcislb.console.net/printcat.cgi ... umentaries So maybe it is/was available on VHS. My search showed it listed in the catalog of the Hunt Library at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. See here: http://voyager.db.erau.edu/cgi-bin/Pweb ... BBID=98402

It was a very good documentary and it deserves to be put on DVD and I've often thought about writing NBC about it to see if it will be released on DVD.
