For those who are unaware, D Day marks the Allied powers siege on the beaches of Normandy to take back Nazi-occupied France. It is often marked as a major turning point in World War II that ensured an Allied victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the film, we get to see some of the brave pilots and servicemen who helped secure victory on that historic day. We also follow the teams of crafts persons and aviation enthusiasts who dedicated sweat, tears and valuable time to making sure this show of appreciation for those who served went down as planned. The intercutting of footage is very effective in this film. Not only is there some striking aerial footage where the camera is seated on the wing, but it also includes some black and white archival video captured during almost a century ago. There are also animated portions that illustrate the intricacies of the feat that took place on D Day. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-Final_0727_H264_Stereo.mp4.01_09_36_09.Still002-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1624\" width=\"225\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-Final_0727_H264_Stereo.mp4.01_09_36_09.Still002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-Final_0727_H264_Stereo.mp4.01_09_36_09.Still002-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-Final_0727_H264_Stereo.mp4.01_09_36_09.Still002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-Final_0727_H264_Stereo.mp4.01_09_36_09.Still002.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The frequent visual reserves keep the documentary consistently interesting. This film reminds us that we have a thin window of opportunity to show our appreciation for the sacrifices our WWII veterans made, as mentioned frequently in the documentary by many who participated in this commemorative flight. The chief reason for making sure this flight happened is to demonstrate a level of admiration to these veterans for their bravery and to do it while they\u2019re still here.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-9B545685-BD8B-4870-9AC1-E7C274104A1D-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1625\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-9B545685-BD8B-4870-9AC1-E7C274104A1D-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-9B545685-BD8B-4870-9AC1-E7C274104A1D-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-9B545685-BD8B-4870-9AC1-E7C274104A1D-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Into-F-O-M-9B545685-BD8B-4870-9AC1-E7C274104A1D.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The lesson of <em>Into Flight Once More <\/em>is to understand and appreciate the sacrifices of those who fought and those who died to preserve our freedoms and way of life here in the U.S.A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend <em>Into Flight Once More <\/em>for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. &nbsp;It helps to have some understanding of D Day because that puts the ultimate value of this endeavor in perspective.&nbsp; I give <em>Into Flight Once More <\/em>4 out of 5 stars.
