Review of Combat America

Love war films? You must see this one. Recounting the experiences of the 351st Bombardment Group of the Army Air Forces during WWII in England, this documentary is a must-see! The only thing that makes this film any better is the appearance of the lovable Clark Gable in one of his finest performances. Gable actually produced, wrote, directed and narrated this film while he was on assignment with the 8th Air Force. There is a ton of color combat footage, a rarity indeed. Unlike many films which are somewhat reluctant to show exactly what the cost of war can be, this film reveals the reality. Not for the faint of heart, Combat America, provides modern viewers with true insight to what it was like to live and fight during those difficult times.

Several bombing missions over Hitler rules Germany are followed throughout this fabulous film. You will see up close and personal footage of the B-17s as they leave U.S. air space and eventually travel to the dangerous skies over Germany. Find out what it was like to be on the front line as well as on an Air Force base in the U.K. during WWII. You won’t forget this film anytime soon. Gable clearly leads the viewers through the truth of the war and provides a rare view into the courage of the men during this time.
