When it comes to air combat heavy metal anthems, Iron Maiden has a pretty captive market with classics like "Aces High" and "Tailgunner". As far as air combat heavy metal videos, no one has done it better than Maiden's "Aces High". I think Dragonsclaw are echoing their love of those songs in "Defenders of the Skies" so I tried to capture some of the vibe of that video too, just with less spandex and way less of a budget.

There wasn't much footage of Dragonsclaw and we didn't have the money or time to film some performances. As the song is about air combat during the Second World War, we dug into the World War 2 footage archives. We found some incredible stuff there; especially the Frank Capra directed propaganda films. They're all public domain now, so free for D.I.Y artists to muck about with. I spliced a bunch of stuff from various sources together to create some dynamic action montages. I tried to tell little pockets of stories with each of them that visually punctuate the song's lyrics and moods. The whole thing is totally historically inaccurate and probably culturally insensitive to some, for those critics, I'd say: "We're guilty... but lighten up. ". It's an entertaining video for the web and it's a great song.
