Documentary

Canadian film producer Philip Osborn is currently working on a six-part documentary featuring some of the great technological secrets of Third Reich aviation. German scientists not only led the field in aerodynamic reasearch, but also rocket and jet propulsion. They brought the world into a new aviation era, erecting a bridge between "time and space".

This pathfinder series uses revolutionary computer graphics (as for the film Lord of the Rings) and actors to represent personalities and machines of the period, such as Flight Captain Erich Warsitz and the He 176 rocket aircraft he flew. For a preview of this breathtaking series, click here...
