Into the Wind (directed by Steven Hatton) is a feature length documentary, capturing the life and wartime experiences of former Bomber Command veterans from the Second World War. As well as a document of unique historical value and significance, Into the Wind is a record of deeply personal stories, tales of friendships gained and lost, the perpetual possibility and proximity of death, the importance of love and family, the shared passion for flying and the moral implications of warfare.??
The documentary features interviews with former aircrew originating from Poland, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and the United Kingdom, all of whom share the weight and responsibility of having helped change the course of history.
The DVD contains the 72 minute directors cut of the film plus several short films. These include the 13 minute film Ken Wallis.Aviator, a portrait of aviation legend Ken Wallis and New Zealand at War, a 22 minute film looking at the contribution of New Zealand to Bomber Command.

Utterly riviting documentary. Deserves prime time screening on BBC or ITV in the future. Very well researched and presented. A brilliant first hand account of life in bomber command by the brave people who were there.

Not to be missed!,

This review is from: Into the Wind [DVD] [2011] (DVD)
This dvd by Steve Hatton is a marvellous tribute to a group of men who are only now being honoured to the extent that they were during most of WW2. I have been linked into his website and Facebook page almost from when it started and he has been informative interesting even before the dvd came out.Being very interested in commonwealth forces I was very glad to see some major bits about the Kiwis though I wish there had been much more. I know Steve has some more stuff which didnt get into this dvd so I hope he will do ITW 2 which I am sure will be a brilliant sequel unlike most. I loved that he let the veterans do most of the talking with the music and the talking heads taking a secondary seat. Well done Steve this is not to be missed for WW2 fans.
