Discovery Wings episodes?

[reconmercs]

Hey guys, does anyone know where I could purchase episodes of of the Discovery Wings documentary series that used to come on? I'm mainly looking for the episodes that featured Jeffery Ethell (who was killed back in 97 in a P-38 crash), I'm looking for the ones covering the Apache (can't remember the title), F-16 (I think this one was called Flight of the Falcon??) and any others from when he was on, they were GREAT documentaries and I haven't been able to find most of them anywhere, thanks in advance.

in case no one has seen any of them, here is a clip of the episode featuring the SU-25 when it was on tv over in the UK:

Discovery.com??

I was going that route as well with Discovery Military Channel. They have "Great Planes", which seems to have some of the same footage from "Wings".

Thanks for those Les, I still no luck on finding what I was looking for though Once a blue moon one of the episodes will come on the military channel but I always miss them, sucks that they were never brought to DVD, really good series

[KevinJarvis]

In fact, alot of them were brought to DVD. I used to work at a factory where I personally shipped thousands of the DVD coversheets.

Many of the individual disks are out of production and no longer generally available. E-bay?

Cost around $160 plus...

Edit: Sorry these are WWII only, not what the original post was about.

I have a # of the series as well as "Planes" on VHS taped from the discovery channel .I'll go through them next week . It was a great pleasure to have known Jeff personally ,who was willing to take time out of his VERY busy schedule to help out with any requests as far as aviation history . A great person to spend at an airshow with . If you haven't read his book "One day in a Long War (May 10,1972 ,Air war, North Vietnam )" co-authered with Alfred Price , do so . A brilliant book and I highly recommend it . Both Jeff and Fred thoroughly researched their subject and managed to put same onto paper in a very readable manner.
Cheers
