B-29 Bombers Attack North Korea plus Nose Art in HD (Updated)

I created this original documentary from a recently found reel of silent, unedited and undocumented footage shot by the US Air Force in Korea in August-September, 1950, for a documentary that was never released. The highlight of the film shows an early morning briefing for 19th Bomb Group (28th, 30th and 98th Bomb Squadrons) at Kadena Air Base on Okinawa. Zeno, Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com. See this film and more on our "B-29 Superfortresses Go to War Volume 2" DVD. http://bit.ly/SwOsRH Reminiscent of scenes from the World War 2 classic "Target for Today," the briefing is for mission against the all important rail bridges near Sinanju Station, North Korea and the port of Nampo, as part of the preparation for the Inchon landings and the breakout from the Pusan perimeter. (The film also has incidental footage taken of B-29s from the 307th Bomb Group, "Square Y.") Through research, I've been able to reconstruct the briefing and the mission, including target footage taken at the time, along with corresponding satellite photos showing the same locations today. I also spent hours digitally restoring much of the footage, which was very grainy and faded. And as a special bonus, I've added "19th BG Color Nose Art Scrap Book," a collection of remarkable Kodachrome slides taken of 19th BG B-29s by SSgt. George J. Amthor, an armorer with the 19th BG, 30th Squadron, at Kadena in 1950-51. Footage of the heroic and very costly B-29 operations in Korea is extremely rare, so we are very pleased to release this new documentary. (The B-29 Nose Art section contains a few illustrations that may not be suitable for younger viewers.)
