From the old 1957 series "Air Power" with the excellent narration of Walter Cronkite. This episode, "Conquest of the Air", is the story of the Allied 8th Air Force campaign to win control of the skies of Nazi Germany in 1944. Part 1 of 3. Video quality is a bit rough (sorry).......pulled from a 1986-vintage VHS tape.
When this series debuted at the height of the Cold War they had to run a subtitle/crawler at one point in the first episode to reassure all that it was just a history program and NOT some live breaking news of a developing crisis!
