"Heroes of Aviation is about warbirds, not individuals. Although the release date was in 2007 the most recent information in the series appears to be prior to Sept. 11th, 2001. The earliest footage goes back to the start of the aircraft carrier age. If you like sequences with lots of flying accompanied by music, without much information about the aircraft, this is for you. If not, use the fast forward. In some places there is sufficient information about the subject aircraft, while in others, not much is said about the aircraft while the video will show it circling for five minutes. Sometimes the narrator will be talking about one subject, such as air raids over Germany, while the video shows pictures of the carrier attacks over the Pacific. However, strongly considering the under $10 price for a five video set that runs 720 minutes, it is money you shouldn't regret spending."
