A Century of Flight DVDs


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I found this at Costco today. 4 DVD set with metal collector case - $20.00

From Box: From the Wright Brothers to the Right Stuff, this is the complete story of manned flight. Through rare images and lost interviews with the pioneers of aviation, learn -what really happened at Kill Devil Hill as Orville and Wilbur raced against time and Professor Langley to be the first to fly. 'fake oft with the gallant Knights of the Sky over the Western Front in 1918, or battle the elements in an open cockpit with the first airmail service. Break records with Amelia Farhart,Wally Post and Jackie Cochran or join lucky Lindy on his flight into history.

In this breathtaking 4-DVD set, you will hear Jimmy Doolittle tell you in his own words what it was like to break air speed records and lead his B-24s in an impossible raid over Tokyo.You'll break the sound barrier with Yeager, walk on the moon with Armstrong, and honor those who paid the ultimate price for the quest of space.

This collection has it all for the aviation enthusiast and those who just enjoy a great adventure.

London is only 20 minutes down the 401.

Costco right at 401 and Wellington, just south of the 401.

I hope these are typos that don't reflect on the quality of the DVD...

Well just went to costco.com and found this:

find a Costco warehouse

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warehouses Found

London
4313 Wellington Road South
London, Ontario
N6E2Z8


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The map is a little wrong as the store is South of the 401.. unless they moved the whole bulding or something.

I justed scanned the box and the OCR did the rest. I never checked for typos. Spelling is correct on the box.

Sorry, i hadn't realised the text was the same as in the pic.
But they do seem to say Doolittle led a raid of B-24's instead of B-25's

Anyways, i'll be sure to look for these DVDs the next time i'm at Costco
