War Documentary hosted by Walter Boyne, published by Discovery Channel broadcasted as part of DC Wings series in 1997 - English narration







Information

------------------------------



Beyond the Wild Blue is the most accurate rendition of the history of the United States Air Force that has ever been seen on the television or video. By a brilliant combination of archival film research and intensely personal interviews with many of the most important figures in the history of the Air Force, John Honey and Walter Boyne have produced a vivid and fast moving portrait of service which went from the ruins of World War II demobilization to become the principal weapon of the world's only Superpower.

Beyond the Wild Blue presents a comprehensive survey of all the great aircraft and missiles of the United States, as flown by the great aces, and as led into battle by a series of first rate leaders. The quality of their effort was underlined by the powerful air war plan executed against Iraq by the United States Air Force and its coalition allies. Even as the entire world watched in real time as Air Force Lockheed F-117s Stealth Fighters streaked through the flak filled skies of Baghdad to destroy Iraq's command system, the Strategic Air Command was poised to combat any threat of intervention by the still powerful Soviet Union. Beyond the Wild Blue tells the exciting almost unbelievable story of how the USAF reached the pinnacle of power through the bravery of its air crews and merit of its research and development programs.

1)  Disintegration and Rebirth

Over the objections of the Navy, the USAF is created out of the remnants of the WWII Army Air Forces. American military leaders came back from World War II convinced of the importance of air power and the need for expansion in the future. On September 18th, 1947 the Air Force was split off from the Army and a new branch of the military was born. Within a year, the new service conducts the Berlin Airlift in its first Cold War test.
