Editorial Review: Description: Join a grueling expedition to recover this rare plane from the North Pole after 50 years, a trip which tests team members in ways they never imagined. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Only reality can be this tragic and cruel...NOVA documentaries always seem to capture me, but this one literally left me with my jaw dropped in my lap the first time I saw it on TV. This film focuses on a group of men which attempt to restore a B-29, which crashed and was abandoned in Greenland during a secret mission during W.W.II. Their goal: to completely restore the B-29 on-site, and launch it from the nearby frozen lake bed. The technicalities of what they must accomplish to restore this airplane are mind-boggling. Most NOVA documentaries ...

Rating: - Doing the impossible - on a shoestring budget and no facilites = Ingenuity at it's best A small team of men with a minuscule budget takes on a task that large aircraft companies would have to spend hundreds of thousands of Dollars - maybe millions of Dollars to do properly. It is field ingenuity and successful calculated risk assessment at it's best. This type of skill - long gone in many corporations, enables them to accomplish what they did. A study in brilliance and hard work, all under the most inhospitable conditions imaginable. This documentary chronicles human achievement at it's ...

It really was human endurance tested to the limit,i can't speak highly enough of the sacrafice of all involved with the trajic loss of the chief engineer&ultimatly the loss of the aircraft. I was speechless. Everyone involved in the project deserves a medal in my book. Lifting propellers that way a ton onto splines with hands that are half ... Read More Rating: - Not just for aviation buffsMy husband and I first saw this documentary when it was originally broadcast on PBS years ago. It has remained vividly in our memories ever since. The human story here is so much greater than just the aircraft. I've shared this with people who know nothing about aviation and they have been moved by the people and their mission. This is our favourite Nova episode ... wonderful to see it available on VHS. A DVD version with extra footage and interviews would be really special! Browse for similar items by category:
