First of all, VICTORY THROUGH AIR POWER was NOT banned. It was withdrawn in total since its purpose was met at the time. I had the opportunity to see it at a Motion Picture Academy screening years ago. Portions of it were seen years later on the NBC Sunday Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color program, including the history of aviation sequence. That was well before The Disney Channel was created. It should be realized that Walt Disney personally financed the film because he realized the importance of the subject matter. The film was considered important enough to be shown in secrecy to the leaders of the Allied force, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin. The screening was arranged in Montreal. The logic of an air force victory was brilliantly explained and was extremely influential in expanding an allied air force.

You're right, I should have said World of Color and not The Disney Channel. However, the word "banned" has both a technical and a colloquial definition. Song of the South is frequently referred to as banned even though it was not legally banned, it has obviously been internally banned by the Disney company. Even still, Song was released to theaters multiple times, while Victory was never theatrically re released, so I feel calling it banned is fair, especially since I explain what I mean by that in the video.

Thanks for this video. I found out about the Disney movie "Victory Through Air Power"" in 1971 when I read Seversky's postwar "Airpower: Key to Survival" but it took until 2004 before I saw the movie. I collected Seversky's three works and my copy of "Victory Through Air Power" has Seversky's autograph--it's one of the joys of vintage books. A short clip of Billy Mitchell starts off "Victory Through Air Power." Right now, that Disney movie would very much be a niche product. For a decade I was a volunteer staffer at the Hill Aerospace Museum. "Victory Through Air Power" is a two-fer, interesting to both Disney fans and aviation history buffs.

A lot of those accusations against Walt only started appearing after his employees (many of whom were Jewish) begged him to look into the growing communist presence in Hollywood unions in the late ‘40s and early ‘50s. When Walt finally obliged, he was horrified by how deep the Soviet agents had infiltrated the film industry and started cooperating heavily with the FBI and House Unamerican Activities Committee to snoop them out. Only then did the accusations of Walt being antisemitic appear out of seemingly nowhere. After the Cold War ended, it was discovered that the Soviets had told their agents to accuse any American who was getting wise to them of being an antisemitic fascist.

In 2007 I was completing an extended active duty assignment at the Pentagon and ready to retire. Among the many duties I had to sort out for my replacement was my small part in planning and coordinating the 60th anniversary of the Air Force later this same year. I had contacted a gentleman in our historical department about locating a copy of "Winged Victory", but he did not have one. Instead he offered to do a screening of "Victory Through Air Power" to see if it would be suitable for service-wide distribution. We arranged a showing in one of our conference rooms that had a large screen, but few people attended. Even I was unable to watch more than half of it before I had to depart for a retirement briefing. I never found out if the film was accepted and distributed throughout our bases for the anniversary event, but after retirement I made a point of purchasing a new print of Disney's "On the Front Lines ", which contains the complete film. I also found a less than stellar copy of "Winged Victory". Maybe someday this latter film will receive a restoration in time for the US Air Force's 100th anniversary. If we don't preserve the heritage of our past, how will we judge our progress in the future?

For historical accuracy, extensive review of the strategic bombing campaign prove that the actual destruction caused was far less than the cost in men and material. For completeness, one has to consider the resources expended by the Axis on strategic air defense, those expended to harden targets in various ways (dispersion, AA, etc.) which cost a lot, etc. Those considerations, besides the multiplicative effect of air power on land operations tactically, made the entire air campaign a great assist in victory. Just not in the way the prewar advocates of airpower wanted people to believe. In this way, the Allies air campaign was as flawed as the earlier Axis one, where when the RAF was literally about to go under from the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe, under Hitler's direction, changed to the Blitz period. This allowed the RAF to recover.

Yet it is civilians who make every scrap of war material and it is by force of numbers domestically that even the worst of tyrants can be dethroned. Let us not parse or nuance the delivery systems. Rather let us recognize, or re-recognize that the problem is war itself. Frankly I am appalled that America’s current ruler ship never seem to take into account the nuclear capabilities of the countries that they demonize in order to feed the perpetual necessity of new enemies to justify and fund the military industrial complex.

I question whether there is any evidence the film affected US policy toward AirPower. Before Pearl Harbor, the US had committed to ramping up aircraft production to astounding levels, with heavy bombers being prominent in the mix. Not only were plans laid out for the B-29, but also its back-up, the B-32, as well as the super heavy B-36. The Army Air Force was run by “The Bomber Mafia”, a group of generals who shared Seversky’s views. Seversky’s Company, Republic, had the single largest Air Force contract for fighters, which required republic to hugely expand its operations in Farmingdale , New York as well as in a brand new megafactory in Evansville, Indiana. I have seen Victory Through Air Power. It s a well-made piece of wartime propaganda that may have made some ordinary Americans feel better about paying for the war in treasure and blood, but I don’t think it significantly affected strategy or policy as that was the direction the Us was headed in even before the book was written.

It was not all of one and nothing of the other. The conventional and atomic firebombings certainly were most direct in the War Cabinet's minds. The USSR suddenly, to the Japanese, scrapped the peace treaty that had a year to run, 2 days after the 1st A bomb. Then a 2nd A bomb was used, despite Japanese scientists assurance only one such bomb was possible. With the Soviet invasion of Manchuria there would be no fallback position to continue fighting if Honshu were overrun. The Soviets too would certainly depose the emperor if they were able to land in Japan, while the Americans would likely assure the dynasty would be allowed to continue. Some of both.

"Banned" here just means the Disney company chose not to re release the film in theaters. Even Song of the South got that, and that film is referred to as "Banned" all the time. Obviously, the technical definition is a legal prohibition, but there's a colloquial understanding too. The character of Little Hiawatha, for instance, is likely "banned" internally at Disney.

Bombing was terribly ineffective. Production increased in Germany throughout the war in spite of the Allied bombing. Most bombs dropped missed their targets.

It was the change of strategy in using the bombers as bait for the Luftwaffe when the long range P51s and later P47s destroyed the German fighter force both in personell and training plus later on fuel. Strategic bombing did have a big effect but did not win the war alone as the bomber generals said. It would have taken much longer without the long range fighters and the huge American lend lease programs.

Yet in January 1945, Speer told Hitler the war was now lost because bombing had crippled war production to the extent that Germany could not continue, and also stated that if the damage of Hamburg had been repeated at 6 cities, the war would have been lost.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of that. Okay, one dissenting voice here about allied bombing policies in WW2, wasn't that film clearly promoting the perpetration of war crimes? Before and since WW2, the deliberate targeting from the air of civilians, residential districts and cultural, medical, historical and social centers has always been prohibited by law, and for obvious humanitarian reasons. The "no law against it" validation used by allied leaders could not be justified in any way, there were indeed no laws against dropping things from airplanes but there were laws prohibiting all attacks on non military targets, if we always allowed new means of war or new weapons to be used in the judicial gap between creation and regulation, there probably wouldn't be a human race anymore, unfortunately this is exactly what happened in France, Germany, China and Japan during WW2 and later in Indochina, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and many others. The dates are also strange: in 1942 Frederick Linderman, Churchill's science advisor ordered the Butt report to see how accurate the British bombing campaigns against German military targets were... The results? One bomber out of the whole armada succeeded in getting one bomb within 5 miles of the designated target... devastating, not worth the trouble. That's when the decision was made to forget military installations and target cities at night instead, ya can't miss them cities can ya! So, from 1942 on, the British indiscriminate devastation had begun, what could a 1943 film add to that, I have no idea, looks like ha was trying to sell a refrigerator to an Esquimau. And, as the narrator says at 13:15 "In the modern era, aerial bombardment is seen by many as inhumane, which honestly it is, but it may also have been necessary to defeat the axis powers." Well, if we allow ourselves to break the rules to achieve victory why bother making rules in the first place and what kind of victory is that anyway, I cannot see glory, honor or justification of any kind in dropping incendiaries on a city like Tokyo, a city made of paper and wood, resulting in 100,000 civilian victims burned alive in their own homes, all in one night, without any military gains for the perpetrators. If those who conceived and executed those unnecessary massacres are human, then there's more than one kind, I refuse to be part of the same category as these butchers, to me murder being criminal one day and rewarded the next is a concept that brings our mental abilities at the level of an earth worm... but I shouldn't say that, that's not fair for the earth worms.

I understand your position, and I certainly think it's very complicated. I don't think I really know any definitive answers on it, I only really have questions. There is evidence both for and against strategic bombing, and I certainly didn't intend to explore the subject fully here. I do think there has been an effort to portray it as though the Allied bombing campaigns were essentially pointless, and that's simply not true.

No cruise missiles or GPS at that time so bombing was done as best as possible at the time, which drastically improved with the invention of H2S and the creation of the Pathfinders which made bombing very accurate. Would you prefer a gentlemanly war lasting many more years and the Allies losing with Hitler having free rein to complete the Genocide and move onto exterminating the next groups on the list e.g. Slavs and Russians ? The Germans and Japanese were not fussy when they bombed.

I was about to be a bit sarcastic but I'll just say that the Japanese, Italy and Germany committed war crimes and bombed civilians first. Germany and Japan killed civilians with impunity. The future of the world was seen to depend on utterly destroying their evil. Mercy did come after the war as Germany and Japan were rebuilt.

@@RichNotWealthy Hey, I love sarcasm, go ahead, don't be shy. Indeed, a lot of people do believe that Germany initiated the unrestricted bombing of civilians in WW2, that's because the British government finds it extremely difficult to stick to historical accuracy and because doing actual research about one's own untold crimes is not only unnecessary, but dangerous as well, much easier to go with the flow, disregard evidence and avoid asking questions but whatever you do, never, never, never read books, these things get really intense sometimes and it's not good for your eyes anyway. In WW2, the British bombing of German cities started on Sept. 5th, 1939 at Wilhelmshaven in Lower Saxony, long before Churchill began dropping white phosphorous on sleeping children. Eight months later the heavy bombers of British Bomber Command intentionally dropped bombs for the first time on residential areas in Mönchengladbach-Rheydt and from then on made such attacks on cities of the Ruhr area night after day, up to the 13th of May 1940. The Germans did not start any of that and in fact, the Luftwaffe did not even have heavy bombers, they couldn't see any use for them. The truth you see, is that the British people were not told about the RAF bombing of Germany, Mr. Churchill did not want the despicable hoards to tell him how to win a war so even to this day, hardly anyone knows that 61 German cities were reduced to rubble, and that Berlin, for whatever reason, was bombed more than 314 times. Warsaw was under artillery siege, not just bombed, in Rotterdam the surrender came after the deadline, the bombs were dropped by mistake and at La Guernica they didn't take the decisions, Franco did, still, they refused Franco's murderous plan and in the end 92 people died total. As to the others, they all came later and were legitimate military targets, those were the orders. The third and last phase of the British air offensive against Germany began in March 1942 and continued with undiminished ferocity until the end of the war in May, 1945. That phase began with the adoption of the Lindemann Plan by the British War Cabinet after the Butt report, commisionned by Churchill's science advisor Frederic Linderman had found that on a typical bombing raid only one plane got within 5 miles of the designated target. This report had a sobering effect on Air Command but it devastated the flight crews, most of whom thought that their war was over, ending in complete failure and disgrace. The Linderman Plan thus proposed to enlarge the usual target areas to the approximate size of an average city and to stop trying to hit industrial and military targets. At the beginning some unconvincing humanitarian tree-huggers opposed the new tactic calling it barbaric but a few weeks later, they all convinced themselves of the necessity of the operation, brushing away all doubts about potential war crimes. There were 11 raids on Nottingham during the war and in total, 178 people were killed and 350 injured. There were 18 raids on Coventry during the Battle of Britain between August and October 1940. There were 600 victims and about 370 injured. Coventry was an industrial city of around 238,000 people which, like much of the industrial West Midlands, hosted metal and wood-working industries. In Coventry's case, these included cars, bicycles, aeroplane engines and, since 1900, munition factories. In the words of the historian Frederick Taylor: "Coventry was therefore, in terms of what little law existed on the subject, a legitimate target for aerial bombing". The "Coventry Ordnance Works" for example was one of the leading munition centres in the UK, manufacturing 25% of all British aircraft produced during the war. Then the British used the opportunity given to them by the attack on Coventry to try a new tactic against Germany which was carried out on 16 December 1940 as part of Operation Abigail Rachel against Mannheim. The British had been waiting for the opportunity to experiment with an incendiary-intensive raid, considering it a kind of retaliation for the German raid on Coventry. This was the start of a British drift away from precision attacks on military targets and towards area bombing attacks on whole cities. (by the way, 95% of US POWs in Germany made it home safely)

The Daily Worker was an American based Communist paper. I couldn't acquire a copy of their review, so I only have that excerpt. If I had to guess, I would imagine they thought of the film as beating a war drum, and encouraging unnecessary deaths. Obviously, I disagree with this view.
