Korea and Vietnam Air War Vids

Recommended Posts

i was looking up some vids about these air wars and thought i might aswell post the links as others might be interested etc (please add more from this period if you have any links)

 

Korean Air War

 

The Korean People's Wings Of Freedom (hilarious north korean propaganda film that isnt quite sure what period its in, note those fake cockpit shots with clouds overlayed/composited, and check that benny hill style soundtrack, of course the story neglects to mention that the most effective pilots on their side during the korean war were russians)

Korean War (USAF) (footage of strafing etc)

 

 

USAF in Korea Vol3 Chapter 3...1950 (u.s. propaganda film about the air war, 30mins)

Vietnamese Air War

 

25 Hour Day (another propaganda film, this one made by Fairchild Hiller in conjuction with or should that be collusion with the USAF, in colour, 12mins, some good footage of thunderchiefs in this one, and a clip of Robert Macnamara doing a bit of PR, presumably as a result of some spurious game theory equation)

 

(also check this google video users films, lots of aircraft footage, including russian stuff)

558thTFS: TheMission

 

558th Tactical Fighter Squadron combat missions, 1967

 

 

(colour footage of phantoms over vietnam, along to a turgid sub-wagner meets de sousa soundtrack)

 

Stock Footage of USAF Vietnam Air Operations (no sound, 57mins, add your own music?, ride of valkyries?, or perhaps some generic metal to make it more upto date?)

 

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...duration%3Along

 

Secrets of war Vietnam Special Operations (a modern documentary/propaganda film about u.s. special forces in vietnam, not aviation specifically, thought I might aswell include it)
