Living History

Season 1, Episode 1 of 5

"Living History" details those who are committed to keeping history alive, in the most literal sense. In the story "Tora, Tora, Tora" a group of Commemorative Air Force volunteers fly Japanese Zero replicas to recreate the attack on Pearl Harbor at airshows. In "Bomber Fantasy Camp" ordinary citizens pay to experience training and a mission on-board a B-24 bomber... to drop dummy bombs on target. In "Paratrooper School" folks travel from far and wide to Frederick, Oklahoma to learn how to make WWII-style paratrooper jumps out of a period C-47 trooper plane. Featuring William Guarnere from the 101st Airborne - Easy Company.
