B-29 Ditching - Unedited film footage from WWII showing the
ditching of a B-29 bomber in the ocean and the recovery of the crew. Footage
has turned violet from age, but remains very watchable. Clip is silent, editor
has added his own music.
Sinking of the HMS Barham
- Famous footage of the loss of this British battleship during WWII, worth
watching if you have not seen it.
Artillery
Civil War 3-inch Ordnance Rifle Firing Full Military Load - A
must-watch clip for people who have only seen muzzle loading cannon firing
demonstration flash-charges. This really shows the cannon as it was seen in
action, note the sharp crack and recoil as well as the round that can be seen
travelling downrange.
Atomic Bomb Test - Ground - Sobering period footage of USMC
infantry taking part in tactical nuclear exercises. Editor has added a Pink
Flod soundtrack over the silent footage.
Underwater Atomic Bomb Test - Relatively closeup view of
test freighter with the giant "water wall" plunging into the sky behind it...
pretty terrifying by any account.
