Nearly every conflict sees the debut of a new weapon or defensive tool.EXPERIMENTAL WEAPONS shows how technological advances change the shape, scope and speed of warfare. See how promising prototypes have been proven useless in the trial of combat, while some first thought to be useless have become mainstays of armed forces worldwide. Venture into the labs and proving grounds where the weapons of tomorrow are being developed, hear from the men and women who are making it happen and see dramatic test footage. And learn the surprising stories of some of the experimental weapons from the past.Machine Guns - They first appeared on the battlefields of the Civil War. The art of war has never been the same. Around 1862, the inventor Richard Gatling took advantage of advances in bullet technology to invent the first true machine gun. Mounting 10 barrels in a circle that rotated when cranked (either by hand or with external power) the Gatling gun was without equal on the battlefield, and heralded a new era in warfare. MACHINE GUNS traces the development of these vital weapons from their origins to the present day. Explore the innovations of pioneers like Hiram Maxim, and see how machine guns have evolved into several distinct types with specialized uses and features. Extensive battlefield footage shows them in action, and military historians reveal how the machine gun has helped define modern warfare.Bombers - Early aviators chucked grenades from their open cockpits on the enemy below. Today's strategic bombers can deliver their multi-ton payloads with pinpoint accuracy from miles above the target. BOMBERS is an explosive tour through the history of these mighty airplanes. Trace the incredible advances that were made in just a few years during World War I, when the planes evolved from a curiosity into a legitimate threat. Get an up-close look at planes like the B-17 and B-29, which played a vital role in World War II, and see extensive footage of them in action. Former pilots recall what it was like to fly over Nazi Germany, and today's pilots reveal what it is like in the cockpit of some of the most advanced aircraft ever built. From the birth of aviation to the awesome B-1 B, this is a comprehensive look at the mighty planes that rain death from above.Lifeline From the Sky - It may well be the least glamorous job in the Air Force. But for all its obscurity, it is undeniably one of the most important.The planes are unarmed and vulnerable. But it is not the machinery that matters--it is what is inside. Troops, weapons and supplies delivered by transport planes can spell the difference between victory and defeat. LIFELINE FROM THE SKY chronicles the history of these planes and missions from World War II to Desert Shield. Get a close-up look at the planes and hear from those who have piloted them. Relive dramatic missions like "the Hump" through rare combat footage. And see how air transport alone won the most important victory of the Cold War the Berlin Air Lift.Special Forces - They are the best of the best, selected from the top soldiers in the Army. Only five percent of the candidates ever complete the training and become Green Berets.SPECIAL FORCES is a penetrating, behind-the-scenes look at this elite cadre of soldiers. See how the Army Special Forces evolved from their World War II beginnings as the Office of Strategic Services, and relive some of the historic missions that cemented their place in military history. From the battlefields of Europe to the jungles of Vietnam and the sands of the Persian Gulf, follow Green Berets and other Special Forces teams like the Rangers as they perform their deadly missions. Get an inside look at their arduous training process, and see the special weapons that have been developed specifically for these top-flight soldiers. It's a revealing look at the proud history and heritage of some of the finest fighters in the world. Bombs, Rockets and Missiles - In World War I, soldiers huddled in their trenches as primitive but deadly mortar shells rained on them from above. In World War II, Londoners lived in fear of the Nazi "buzzbombs" and, later, the dreaded V-2. In the Gulf War, precision-guided "smart" bombs wreaked havoc on Iraq, hitting individual buildings with pinpoint accuracy from hundreds of miles away. BOMBS, ROCKETS AND MISSILES traces the heritage of these vital weapons, from their earliest use in ancient China to today's high-tech marvels. Learn of the innovations that marked the development of "smart" bombs, and see how even the humble mortar itself has been improved continually over the years. See incredible footage of missiles and rockets in action in many of the great conflicts of the 20th century, and hear stories of their role in some of history's most pivotal battles. And get a privileged view of the future of these weapons, and the inventions that will keep them viable well into the next millennium. A note about VHS Titles:The VHS format has become what is known in the publishing industry as "out of print". This simply means that no one produces or publishes VHS as a format anymore. As there are still millions of American households who continue use VCRs (whether at home, in their RVs or boats, or even in their vaction homes), the availability of VHS tapes will continue to decline as time progresses. For new, factory sealed items such as those in our inventory, availability becomes even more limited. Over the past year our supply of these titles has been reduced dramatically and unfortunately there is little to no chance that we will ever be able to replenish our stock of them. As a particular title in our inventory becomes more and more scarce our prices will change to reflect this scarcity.
