WWII American Glider Pilots Honored in New DVD
Janson Media today announced the worldwide release of the WWII documentary DVD Silent Wings: The American Glider Pilots of WWII. Narrated by Hal Holbrook, Silent Wings reveals the critical role gliders played in World War II offensives. Just in time for Saturday's D-Day Anniversary, viewers can now discover and recognize the worthy service of those brave soldiers who answered duty's call in what was a pivotal point in World War II history. Thousands of lives were saved and battles won because of their efforts.
Through rare archival footage and photographs, Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of WWII places the audience right at the center of the action in the dangerous world of the American glider pilot. During WWII, 6000 young Americans volunteered to fly large unarmed cargo gliders into battle. For these glider pilots every mission was do-or-die. It was their task to repeatedly risk their lives landing the men and tools of war deep within enemy-held territory, often in complete darkness.
Thousands of lives were saved and battles won because of their efforts. In fact, one pilot interviewed said - the "G" in their emblem didn"t stand for glider; it stood for "guts". Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of WWII is distributed worldwide exclusively through Janson Media. A trailer of the film is available for screening on Janson Media"s YouTube channel.
