Life in the 30s/40s, Pearl Harbor, Military Recruitment ( Flying a Fortress: Part 1 )
The first episode in a docu-series on the B-17 bombing runs over Germany during WW2. This introductory episode covers life in the 30s and 40s, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and recruitment into the United States Army Air Force (USAAF).
The next episode will cover Basic Training, Gunnery school, Bombardier school, and Radio and Navigation School. The third will cover flight training and B-17 crew training. (subject to change) These episodes may take a few months as I'm still working on them.
