 Basically.. The most amazing warbird story ever!! November 18, 2008
I don't want to give details of the story as you can buy the DVD and the book to see/read for your self. I am a pilot and engineer and just can't believe the herculean effort to recover this B29 by Darryl Greenamyer and his team!!! This story will grip you throughout with some amazing flying in a DHC Caribou, some amazing engineering on a 40s bomber and an amazing survival effort in the harsh climate deep inside the arctic circle. A MUST SEE!!! Get the book 'Hunting Warbirds' to fill in all the background info and to give more detail. Si Sproull.

This copy of the NOVA broadcast leaves too much of the original show untold. The original broadcast was rich in description of events and background information and allowed for the dramatic ending to be remembered for a lifetime. Unfortunately the DVD I purchased left too much of the original show out and sped through the events too quickly.
The bottom line is this purchase is a disappointment.

The story of this miraculous aviation discovery is riveting. The amount of money and hard work under the severous of conditions to get this ancient warbird back to civilization is spellbinding. You won't want to miss the ending it is unbelievable.

The impossible dream,the super human task, the will to succeed are only a few words to describe this documentary. Of all the films of this genre, this one left a major impression in my mind. Only since Hillary climbed Mt. Everest, have I seen the will of man so persevere. The finale is worth the wait, trust me. If this type of film is not your preference, make an exception and watch just this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed!!
