It will be released on DVD in March of 2007.

YES, this is the movie that will be at the Convention! I found out
about it last year, and they agreed to hold the Premiere at the
convention! We have even invited several WWII glider pilots to attend
and participate at our convention as well. It is part of the 75th
anniversary celebration. I know that it isn't truly SSA history, but
it is glider/soaring history nonetheless. This last summer, I asked a
lot of racing pilots what they thought about this idea, and I got a LOT
of enthusiastic response. So, everyone make sure you go to the
convention and see the Premiere of this film.
