Excellent

I saw this documentary on TV as a small child, but I watched it when I could. There was a lot of combat footage and a good narration. I do not think I have seen it since the 1950's, but remember it well. The Marines had their own combat cameramen and correspondents, and most of the film in this series was shot by them. A lot of the footage has appeared in other shows.

I cannot believe that I am the first person to comment on this show, or to preview it. I am sure it was available a few years ago, possibly with footage from Korea, but it is not available on Amazon. I want to buy this, preferably on DVD, but I will take VHS.
