| Summary |
Produced and narrated by Hollywood legend Army First Lieutenant Clark Gable, Combat America is a thrilling and informative World War II propaganda film originally distributed by the United States Office of War Information. This documentary recounts the experiences of the 351st Bombardment Group of the U.S. Army Air Forces, based in England during World War II. The group's air and ground crews are followed through a number of bombing missions over Hitler's Germany. Starting out as a patriotic homage to America's airmen and the country they were fighting to protect from tyranny, the film shifts gears to depict daring, dangerous, real-life combat footage overseas. |
