Blue Water White Death - UK DVD OUT NOW
Peter Gimbel and a team of photographers set out on an expedition to find and film, for the very first time, Carcharodon carcharias....The Great White Shark. Taking over nine months, the film crew traveled from Durban, South Africa, where they followed a whaling fleet, across the Indian Ocean where they found a sunken aircraft carrier in Sri Lanka, and finally to South Australia where the Great White Shark awaits.... The film contains rare footage of an active whaling fleet and the first-ever 35mm footage of a Great White Shark.

FRIENDS IN THE FIGHT promo 2
238 years ago, British and American troops fought a bloody battle in downtown Savannah-- yet today UK and US troops train and fight side-by-side around the world. This 30-second promo describes Savannah, GA-based journalist Michael Jordan's upcoming half-hour TV special, "Friends in the Fight," which uses the 1779 Battle of Savannah as a starting point to explore this complex relationship. The show includes a visit aboard a British aircraft carrier with US Marines and a training mission with Georgia National Guard soldiers at a remote British base. The show also includes exclusive footage and interviews relating to the new JCB HMEE, a revolutionary new 60-mile-per hour armored backhoe made for the US Army in Savannah by British manufacturer JCB.

KAMIKAZE ~或る特攻隊員の手記~
English translation sentence↓ (Translated by Hugh and Reiko Young, Jan.2007) ttp://www.yorozubp.com/0701/070109.htm Kamikaze Thoughts by Lieutenant Ryoji Uehara Born September 27, 1922 Graduated from the Department of Economics, Keio University This was written by him the night before the assault. I feel deeply honored and privileged to have been chosen to become a member of the Army's "Special Attack Corps," which embodies the glory of Japan. Having delved deeply into logic and philosophy at my university, what I am about to say can be described as the ideology of liberalism. What is obvious to me is the inevitable triumph of liberty. An inherent and essential element of all humans, freedom cannot possibly be destroyed. Even though at times such feelings may be suppressed...

"The Mighty Eighth" part 1 of 3
The "Mighty Eighth" began operations in England on Feb. 20, 1942, when Brig. Gen. Ira C. Eaker led a seven-man advance team to scout the country and prepare for the arrival of American combat flying units. For the next four years, England became the USAAF's "unsinkable aircraft carrier" as they fought the Luftwaffe and Hitler's Axis forces. By D-Day on June 6, 1944, the USAAF had two-thirds of its operational forces in England and by the end of the war, almost 350,000 airmen had passed through the 8th Air Force. Weaved into the green patchwork of East Anglia were more than 130 American bases, about 75 of them airfields. East Anglia appears as the bulge on the map north of London, and it's about the size of Vermont. The Eighth flew from bases with names the GIs said sounded like they...
