Out Of Africa

When Karen Blixen went to Kenya with her new husband in 1914, it was the start of a love affair to last a lifetime. Despite the failure of her marriage and her plantation, and her doomed affair with adventurer Denys Finch Hatton, her passion for Africa never died. Winning 7 Oscars including Best Picture and Director, it is an exquisitely moving tribute to the courageous woman who later wrote as Isak Dinesen. Also includes many extra features, including lobby cards, commemorative booklet and publicity stills.

Bloody 100th, The

When the 100th Bomb Group first arrived at their new base of Thorpe Abbot, England, they had 30 bombers, 300 aircrew and 3000 support staff. Of those original 30 crews 86% were shot down. It earned the group the chilling nickname 'The Bloody 100th'. This is the story of the men of the 'Bloody 100th' and the B-17 Flying Fortresses they flew on some of the most dangerous daylight bombing missions of the war, as told by members of the 'lucky bastards club' - the few who successfully flew 25 missions and were sent home. The Bloody 100th took part in Operation Gomorrah against Hamburg, and in the infamous Schweinfort and Regensburg raids. They were decimated over Munster, spearhead raids against Berlin and - most controversially of all - were part of the terrible attack on Dresden that caused so many civilian casualties. Using rare archive footage, gun camera film and dramatic archive material, this is the story of one of the USAAF's most combat experienced Bomber Groups.
