Aviator Stories

Project: Documentary Series
Role: Researcher, Writer, Director, Producer
Client: The Air Force Museum of New Zealand
Company: Homegrown Television

I have had the pleasure of interviewing some amazing WWII aviators before they died - among them Lancaster, Spitfire, Wellington and Corsair pilots. The stories that were produced were two-fold. The shorter 5 - 10 min piece is made to be public facing for The Air Force Museum in Christchurch. A longer 45 min piece is housed in the research area of the museum as a longer record of what they had to say, so generations to come can find out more about these remarkable men and what they went through, as a first-hand source of history.
