3 DVD - PAL - Region 2 - Run Time: 347 Mins

COLLECTION OF THREE GREAT WAR FILMS "MOSQUITO SQUADRON", "633 SQUADRON" AND "A BRIDGE TOO FAR "

MOSQUITO SQUADRON

Starring David McCallum...

..David McCallum (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) stars in an epic adventure that balances large-scale spectacle with searing human drama, perfectly capturing the explosive action and emotional torment of war. With its astonishing special effects, stark cinematography and brilliantly choreographed aerial combat sequences, The Mosquito Squadron catapults the viewer into the white hot heat of battle. As Allied forces struggle against the awesome might of the German Luftwaffe, an even greater threat is posed by the destructive V3 Rocket, which is nearing completion at a secret testing centre. It is up to the RAF's Mosquito Squadron to destroy the site, but its leader, Quint Monroe (McCallum), faces a conflict when he makes a grim discovery. An air strike may kill hundreds of British POWs – including the squad's former commander....

633 SQUADRON

Starring Cliff Robertson and George Chakiris

...Excitement, adventure and courage in the war-torn skies over northern Europe are the perfect ingredients for this pulse-pounding World War II air drama. Two Academy Award winners headline the solid cast: Cliff Robertson (Best actor in Charly, 1968) and George Chakiris (Best Supporting Actoror in West Side Story, 1961). Robertson, an avid flyer in real life, plays a combat-weary pilot whose R.A.F. squadron is ordered on an apparent suicide mission to destroy a Nazi rocket fuel plant tucked deep into a Norwegian fjord. Chakiris portrays a resistance fighter whose fate numbers among the many ironies in the expertly written screenplay.

To make the film, which is based on a true story, a squadron of legendary Mosquito fighter-bombers was resurrected from near extinction. Dazzling flying sequences, bone-shaking sound and superb special effects help make this one of the most realistic air combat films ever to reach the screen....

A BRIDGE TOO FAR

With a massive cast of stars including Dirk Bogarde, Michael Caine, Sean Connery Robert Redford and many more

...In September 1944, flush with success after the Normandy Invasion, the Allies confidently launched Operation Market Garden, a wild scheme intended to put an early end to World War II by invading Germany and smashing the Third Reichs war plants. However, a combination of battlefield politics, faulty intelligence, bad luck and worse weather led to a disaster.

An epic retelling of World War Two's most tragic blunder resulting in more allied casualties than the entire Normandy landings...
