Description:

4 videodiscs (543 min.) : sound, color & black and white ; 4 3/4 in.

Summary:

Von Ryan's express (widescreen, 1965, 117 min.): Ryan, an American POW, leads his fellow prisoners on a dangerous escape from the Germans in Italy. Having seemingly made errors of judgment, Ryan has to win the support of the mainly British soldiers he is commanding.

Tora! tora! tora! (widescreen, 1970, 144 min.): A dramatization which chronicles the bombing of Pearl Harbor from both the Japanese and American points of view.

Blue Max (widescreen, 1966, 150 min.): A low-born infantryman becomes a pilot during World War I, almost deliberately stepping on the sensibilities of his aristocratic comrades in the process. A national hero, he wins the Blue Max, the highest award that can be bestowed upon an aviator. His fame is exploited by a general, who tolerates the affair between the pilot and the general's wife. The canny general knows that, eventually, the pilot will become expendable, and a "heroic" death can be arranged.

Twelve o'clock high (full screen, b & w, 1949, 132 min.): The commander of a U.S. bomber unit in Britain during World War II begins to crack under the strain.
