| Dry Gulcher Down follows
the story of ten men who grew up in Depression America and found
themselves aboard the ill-fated B-17 bound for the Luftwaffe research
facilities at Peenemunde. They never made it. The documentary traces
the life stories of the crew of aircraft number 42-97594 of the
381st Bomber Group (H) flying out of Ridgewell, England. On August
4, 1944 the aircraft caught fire after takeoff and plunged to a
fiery end not far away. At the controls was famed television director
Irving Moore, who remained in the cockpit until it was almost too
late. Nine crew bailed out to safety. Only the tail gunner, S/Sgt
Harold Norris went down with the plane. A unique look at the men
who spearheaded the air war against Germany and the price they had
to pay. VHS and DVD 58 minutes. NEW FULL HOUR VERSION WITH INTERVIEWS, NEW NARRATION, AND NEW ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK.
RELEASE DATE: January 2008
