The copy of "Combat America" I saw was posted on YouTube and said it had been restored in 2011. Well, perhaps it could use some more restoration, as the print was blurry and sound quality only fair. It might just be with today's technology this is as good as they can restore it...I don't know.
The film is a documentary intended to bolster the war effort by telling the audience how wonderfully the Army Air Corps are doing in their bombing missions against the Axis. Because of this, it's not exactly the most balanced film, as it seems to gloss over the losses and carnage these men experienced...though some is talked about...and mostly in a hip-hip hooray manner. Still, the footage is pretty incredible and the narration by Clark Gable generally pretty good. More an important historical document than a fun film to watch.
