B-17 Documentary Set for DVD Release in Australia

Janson Media announced today that it has licensed DVD home video rights of its award-winning military history documentary B-17: Flying Legend (1 x 52') to Duke Home Entertainment of Australia. Produced by Fortress Films, B-17: Flying Legend examines the importance of WWII"s most famous airplane and raises awareness about the importance of keeping the remaining B-17s flying for generations to come. It covers the history of the airplane, and the stories of brave men who flew them, and looks at the people today who struggle to keep these flying museums in operation. Almost 13,000 B-17s were built during the war. Sixty years later only 13 still fly. Unless awareness is created to help with this preservation, in the near future B-17s will only be found in static displays. For more information, please visit the B-17: Flying Legendhomepage.
