A reasonable documentary painting in overly-broad strokes the history of US Navy aircraft carriers.
Spiced by a narrative voice with the subtlety of the more sober Sunday afternoon sports commentaries, the recitation is appropriate for this script deficient in thesaurus research for alternatives to repetitively growled words like "decisive."
Very nicely selected and edited historical visual footage. Included with the package is a well illustrated and laid out 26 page booklet, which is almost as informative as the video itself.

Deadly in its primary role as a submarine hunter, the PBY Catalina was the scourge of the Imperial Japanese Navy's submarine force. Its amphibious traits also made the aircraft well suited to air-sea rescue, and thousands of Allied airmen were saved from a watery grave by PBY crews. Using personal interviews, war diaries and combat reports combined with original Japanese records and books, Louis B Dorny provides a view on the role of the Catalina from both side of the war. Illustrated with over 80 photographs and colour profiles detailing aircraft markings, this is the definitive history of an insight into the PBY's use by the US Navy and Allied forces in the Pacific during World War 2.
