AERIAL GUNNER

In this WWII drama, an injured aerial gunner recounts the events of his recruitment and basic training where he discovers his sergeant is an old rival just before going off to war. Further complicating the matter is their mutual adoration of a fellow recruit's sister. Tensions come to a boiling point but are then cast aside when the two men crash on an island teeming with Japanese troops. Forced to work together, the long-time rivals must repair the downed aircraft if they hope to make it out alive.

BATTLE OF BLOOD ISLAND

Battle of Blood Island, a tense war adventure, is set during the Second World War on a tiny island in the Pacific. There, two G.I.s have taken refuge in a cave as the only survivors of a failed attack on the Japanese. It seems they are trapped indefinitely until they come upon the aftermath of a mass suicide among Japanese soldiers—an indication the war has ended. But the threat of death still looms ominously overhead: an atomic bomb test is scheduled, and time for the soldiers to figure a way off the island is swiftly running out.

A WALK IN THE SUN

In this gritty WWII novel-turned-screenplay, a squad leader must assume command of his platoon after a series of deaths. As the men prepare to attack an isolated farmhouse occupied by Nazis, the thoughts of every soldier are revealed as each ponders his reality and reflects upon his past—all the while tensions and casualties are mounting. A Walk in the Sun is a poignant look at the realities of life on the battle lines.

COMBAT!: MAIL CALL

In this dramatic, one-hour episode of the television series, a front-line American infantry unit is chronicled as it engages in battle after battle all across Europe. With mud-spattered and blood-spilled realism, Combat! illustrates life in the trenches, focusing on each soldier as he struggles to maintain his humanity amidst the horrors of war.
